Keep permissions on files with Maven resources:testResources

Question

Is it possible to keep permissions on file with Maven resources:testResources? My use case is a Selenium binary driver that I put in /src/test/resources that I would like to

Answer 1

My solution is to execute the scripts in a way that do not mind the flags. So, for instance, when running from Maven Exec Plugin, I use:

Before:

myScript.sh
...

After:

bash
myScript.sh ...

Note: If you use bash -c, it will also fail if the exec flag is off.

Adding this remarks from Jason van Zyl, one of the creators of Maven:

The maven-resources-plugin was never intended to create any resources that would be used in a naked filesystem. It was strictly intended to place resources into the resultant artifact for use in a platform independent way, in general from the classpath. If you want to move archives around that are going to be unpacked and used I suggest the assembly plugin for making the archives and the dependency plugin for unpacking them.
