If you need to preserve existing permissions then it's probably easiest to

If you only need to set permissions on certain files then you can use a
nested <zipfileset> to manually set permissions on those files in the
archive.
Given that Java does not (currently) have a notion of file permissions,
it's unreasonable to expect Java code for *any* archive format to preserve
permissions. Ant makes a decent compromise with <zipfileset>, but until
JSR 203 is delivered (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=203) I don't
know what else Ant can do.
I didnt know about JSR203...interesting. but even then, I fear that
whatever cygwin does to mimic unix permissions out of NTFS ACLs will
still raise endless bugreps, unless a version of Java ships with cygwin
awareness.
