May be some kind of directory permissions issue.  The Jars in the

The directory:

The jars in the directory:

I think the T is a "sticky" bit - but I forgot what that means.

Anyway, with these permissions settings, very strange errors are
happening.

I did a chmod to make the jars have
-rw-r--r--

and then, the CDE actually started :-)  Time to go to sleep, now... But
I'll enter a Jira issue to fix the maven build on Unix and Mac platforms.


I verified this same permissions problem on a Linux Intel machine.  So
far what I've found out is:

If I change our Maven build scripts to build .tar.gz files for the
plugins instead of .zip files, then the resulting unzipped files do
not have the T bit set (yes it is the "sticky bit", based on
information I found it is mostly obsolete).  However, they still have
the permission:
--w----r--

I didn't try this in Eclipse but I suspect it will still not work; it
probably does not like having the owner read bit unset.

I tried setting the Maven descriptors' <fileMode> setting to 644
(-rw-r--r--), but it did not seem to have any affect.  It might be a
Maven bug.

That's all I know for now.
