John Casey closed MASSEMBLY-229. -------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: (was: 2.2) 2.2-beta-6 Assignee: John Casey > Documentation of fileMode could be improved to avoid user trip hazard > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-229 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-229 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: n/a > Reporter: Kelvin Goodson > Assignee: John Casey > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.2-beta-6 > > > The website documentation for the fileMode parameter that occurs in a number > of places in the assembly descriptor format description such as [1] does show > a leading 0 for its values, but it isn't clear that this is to declare the > value as octal. Anyone who is used to using the chmod command on *nix > doesn't expect to have to prefix the octal value with a 0, and therefore > might assume the 0 to be an insignificant digit. It would be helpful to add > a comment in the descriptions of these parameters that the value is > interpreted as decimal unless preceded by a leading 0 to indicate an octal > value. > [1] > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html#class_file -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
