Description DJ Houghton CLA 2011-04-07 07:44:54 EDT 
When running the SharedInstallTests, there are several hundred (one for every file?) errors in the console logs about problems with chmod. For instance: 

  [java] STDERR: chmod: /tmp/1302153552237-0.7321328440426936/eclipse/dropins: new permissions are r-xrwxr-x, not r-xr-xr-x

Note this is on Linux only.
Comment 2 DJ Houghton CLA 2011-04-07 11:06:45 EDT 
I was able to reproduce this on my local Linux machine. The call out to chmod was missing the "all" reference. (-w instead of a-w)

$ ls -l eclipse.ini
-r--rw-r-- 1 dj ottawa 294 Feb 10 16:28 eclipse.ini

$ chmod -w eclipse.ini
chmod: eclipse.ini: new permissions are r--rw-r--, not r--r--r--

$ chmod a-w eclipse.ini
$ ls -l eclipse.ini
-r--r--r-- 1 dj ottawa 294 Feb 10 16:28 eclipse.ini
