Chris A. Mattmann resolved OODT-110.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Sounds like we have an effective workaround. I'm marking this as closed.
Committed a change log entry for the item in r1078045. If this is an issue for
anyone else or the work around doesn't "work" for them, let us know and open up
a new issue.
> TestExternMetExtractor fails if temp directory is mounted noexec
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OODT-110
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-110
> Project: OODT
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build proces
> Affects Versions: 0.1-incubating
> Environment: Linux with Sun JDK 6 and /tmp mounted with noexec option
> Reporter: Scott Konzem
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.3
>
> Attachments: TestExternMetExtractor.patch

> The setup() method in the test class
> org.apache.oodt.cas.metadata.extractors.TestExternMetExtractor writes an
> executable file to the default Java temp directory, which on my system is
> /tmp. For security reasons, /tmp on my system has been mounted noexec,
> meaning no files on this partition can be executed (for the most part). When
> the testExtractor() method then tries to run the executable, it causes a test
> failure that prevents me from moving further in the build process. That's as
> far as I've gotten with installation, so I don't know if this is how the
> program would work in production. The output is as follows:

> I'd also note that
> org.apache.oodt.cas.metadata.extractors.TestExternMetExtractor.setup() runs a
> "chmod +x" on the temp executable file. This means the test will likely fail
> on a non-*nix system and halt the build process. The associated comment in
> the code is "yes this is ghetto" (line 123).
> I'm not sure if it's possible to change Java's temp directory with an
> environment variable; so far the only way I've found to change it is by
> setting -Djava.io.tmpdir. See
