Question

My Java development done in a windows machine and i run my processes on a centos machine.
I have a bash script that build all my Jars and SCP them to my centos machine. i run this bash script in Cygwin (java -version is 1.5.0_12), but when i try to run the process in my centos machine, the jVM can’t open the Jars. also, running jar -tf throws:

java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:114)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:75)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.list(Main.java:979)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:224)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1149)

so the only way i can deploy is running mvn commands in cmd.exe in order to build my jars and then copy everything using WinSCP (that way i have no problems in the jars).

is there any known problem running mvn in cygwin?
(running mvn -version returned
Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 22:16:01+0300)
Java version: 1.6.0_26)

thank you

Answer 1

Solved it.
i found the solution in cygwin sets file permission to 000

Edit /etc/fstab and add this line at the end of the file:

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,noacl,posix=0,user 0 0

Then close all Cygwin processes, open a new terminal and ls -l on your files again.
