why does maven use /bin/sh -c ls -1lna /djb3/... just to get a file attribute?

On OpenVMS, with JDK 1.5, and maven 3.0 I can download now perfectly forcing basic authentication toward our proxy server. But as downloading artefacts from repositories works now perfect, I want to do bigger steps. i.e. building the svnkit so here we go IA64mvn -Dhttp.auth.preference=Basic

Thanks Laird! I actually looked (very briefly) for this code but I was looking in plexus-utils, not plexus-components, doh. Surely there is a better way to implement this. I need to trace this code around and figure out why its doing this and see if maybe we can use another approach to get the

Re: why does maven use /bin/sh -c ls -1lna /djb3/... just to get a file attribute?

I have looked at this code earlier, and it actually forks *2* shells to get file attributes when creating any kind of xAR archive. There is definitely room for improvement here, especially on the posix implementation. The last time I googled this it was not as trivial as one could think.
