Michael Clarke commented on JENKINS-12628: ------------------------------------------ I'd personally rather not have to make system calls (such as chmod) as you're relying on a *nix system which is more of a barrier than relying on having Java 6. I'd prefer to call Java 6 methods and have a fallback if they're not available (Kohsuke wrote a blog post on Jenkins doing this a while back: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/2008/11/14/compiling-jdk6-and-running-jdk5). If we were to implement such a feature then I'd look to having a user warned that files would not be set as executable through a console message or even a warning on the CVS section of the job's config screen.
