Stefan Bodewig updated COMPRESS-44:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.0
> mark jars as executable archives on Solaris
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-44
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-44
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
> Assignee: Stefan Bodewig
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> Solaris contains some special code which allows people to mark jar
> files executable and run them as if they were native commands. It
> will only work for jars that contain the sequence 0xCAFE (in
> big-endian order) somewhere at the beginning, which is achieved by
> adding an extra field with that header id.
> See <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32649>
> This is the already existing JarMarker extra field in compress.
> Ant's <jar> task adds this extra field to the META-INF directory
> because it knows this is always going to be the very first entry for
> Ant created jars.
> I propose to modify JarArchiveOutputStream to add a JarMarker extra
> field to the very first entry written to the stream.
