But if I downgrade to 2.4 on the windows machine building the base WAR then the resulting war can be used on linux as base WAR without any problems. So there must be an issue related to (setting/storing) file permissions on building the WAR file. Maybe it's releated to https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXCOMP-280 ? The issue is breaking some of our builds as we run CI on linux, but creating releases mostly on windows. --- **Affects:** 2.5 **Attachments:** - [000 permissions.jpg](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12720560/000+permissions.jpg) (_110.71 kB_) **Issue Links:** - [MWAR-339](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-339) Upgrade plexus-archiver to 2.9 (_**"depends upon"**_) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
