http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22417 add an "owner", "group", and "umask" to the <war> task Summary: add an "owner", "group", and "umask" to the <war> task Product: Ant Version: 1.5.3 Platform: Other URL: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/war.html OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] One use of this is for example when deploying to a tomcat webserver via the "destfile" attribute (see http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22405). The war file should only be owned e.g. by the user/group "tomcat" and have the permission 7*0 (or as umask 00*7) Obviously, an implementation of this would only be able to downgrade the rights, i.e. if root (/sudo) is running the build.xml, user "tomcat" can be set. If user "developer" with umask 0022 runs it, the user cannot be changed, but the permissions for example could be set to 750 or 644. I suggest this for <war>, but obviously equal results can be achieved if it were available for <copy> or <move>.
