appassembler maven plugin doesn't set "execute" permissions on generated script

Question

The AppAssembler Maven plugin does a great job of generating distribution for me. One last problem is that the generated Shell script does not have execution permissions so I need to set them manually.

I am on Linux RedHat

Does anybody know of a clean way to set them automatically?

Answer 1

The only way to do this is to process the file with another maven plugin like Antrun or Assembly after running AppAssembler.

This issue (see link below) has been brought up on the AppAssembler project issue tracker and it was rejected as Won't Fix.
