Dennis Lundberg moved SANDBOX-289 to COMPRESS-44: ------------------------------------------------- Component/s: (was: Compress) Key: COMPRESS-44 (was: SANDBOX-289) Project: Commons Compress (was: Commons Sandbox) > mark jars as executable archives on Solaris > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: COMPRESS-44 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-44 > Project: Commons Compress > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Stefan Bodewig > Assignee: Stefan Bodewig > Priority: Minor > > Solaris contains some special code which allows people to mark jar > files executable and run them as if they were native commands. It > will only work for jars that contain the sequence 0xCAFE (in > big-endian order) somewhere at the beginning, which is achieved by > adding an extra field with that header id. > See <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32649> > This is the already existing JarMarker extra field in compress. > Ant's <jar> task adds this extra field to the META-INF directory > because it knows this is always going to be the very first entry for > Ant created jars. > I propose to modify JarArchiveOutputStream to add a JarMarker extra > field to the very first entry written to the stream. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
