Description Tom Crockett

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When importing a file into the workspace via the "File System" import wizard, a file with umask "-rw-r--r--" gets changed to "-rw-------". Also, if the file is imported as a linked resource, it will change the permissions of the *original* file in the same way! 

I have verified this on both Mac and Linux. I have also verified that this is a 3.6 bug--it doesn't happen when using Eclipse 3.5.2. Could this have something to do with the new functionality in 3.6 to support POSIX permissions?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using the "File System" import wizard, import a file with umask "-rw-r--r--"
2. Check its permissions, either within Eclipse or in the terminal, the permissions are now "-rw-------"

Also, it is not specific to that particular import wizard; we have a custom file import mechanism which is also affected.

Is anyone looking into this? Any chance it could be fixed for 3.6 SR2?

Hi Tom. We have been working on the fix to have it fixed in 3.7. It's too late to backport it to 3.6 SR2, but once the fix is ready I may backport it to 3.6.2+.

Tom, it seems that the fix for bug 323681 addresses this issue too. Could you please pick up the next NBuild and verify that it works fine for your "custom
file import mechanism" mentioned in comment 1. If so, I will mark your bug as a duplicated of bug 323681.
