[Jython-users] problems unzipping jython installer class file

[Phil S. <psu...@es...>]

I'm creating a build file that automatically
creates a distribution of ant with a bunch of
included addons, the most important of which
is jython. 

The script automatically pulls down the jython
distribution from jython.org and then tries to
extract the files from it as if it was a .zip
file. 

Problems (with jython-21.class under linux):
- ant's unzip task simply won't unzip it
- infozip's unzip tool can unzip it (phew)
but the permissions of the unzipped files
are all empty (no permissions). When I use
infozip on other zip files I don't have this
problem.

I guess this is liftoff issue and not a jython
issue, just thought everyone should know.

My vote is for a stanadard jar distribution of
jython in the next release!
