Do you know of some secret way to get execution bits retained in a zip file?
Its not really a secret...
Maven2 assembly plugin fileMode will propagate to tar.gz + zips. Ant zip task has a zipfileset that takes a filemode.I've used both techniques and they work to add the right exec modes to scripts in tgz or zip.
GShell assembly is currently setup to put the right exec flags on the gsh script.
