Steve Cohen commented on MASSEMBLY-670:
---------------------------------------
Looking at source some more I eventually find my way here:
org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.tar.TarArchiver line 318-320
318 long teLastModified = entry.getResource().getLastModified();
319 te.setModTime( teLastModified ==
PlexusIoResource.UNKNOWN_MODIFICATION_DATE ? System.currentTimeMillis()
320 : teLastModified );
evidently, in my case, teLastModified ==
PlexusIoResource.UNKNOWN_MODIFICATION_DATE (0)
Why would that be the case?

> Key: MASSEMBLY-670
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-670
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: component descriptor
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: Steve Cohen
>
> The .tar.gz archives created by the assembly plugin do not preserve the
> timestamps of the files it adds to the archive. There is no setting to
> override this.
> This differs from the functionality of the tar program. That program
> preserves timestamps by default, when adding to the archive and there is no
> option to change this, although there are options to change the timestamps on
> extraction.
> The maven plugin should emulate tar here, I would think.
