I'm completely new to ANT, so I'm not sure exactly how the <tar> tag works.
However, the "p" flag of tar has this description (in Solaris): -
p Restore the named files to their original modes, and
ACLs if applicable, ignoring the present umask(1).
This is the default behavior if invoked as super-user
with the x function letter specified. If super-user,
SETUID and sticky information are also extracted, and
files are restored with their original owners and per-
missions, rather than owned by root. When this func-
tion modifier is used with the c function, ACLs are
created in the tarfile along with other information.
Errors will occur when a tarfile with ACLs is extracted
by previous versions of tar.
An example from the command-line would be: -
tar cvfp my.tar mydir
tar xvfp my.tar
Assuming you can pass command-line flags through the <tar> tag, you might
want to try this.

Subject: Question about tar support.
Hello,
I'm using Ant-1.2 to build my project, and everything but one thing is
working as I expect, the tarball generated by the following command doesn't
keep the executable bit in the file mode:
<tar tarfile="${name}-${DSTAMP}.tar" basedir="${dist.dir}" includes="**"
/>
Any suggestions?
Greetings,
