In relation to my other question concerning cross-platform Tycho builds of an Eclipse RCP-based application, I have managed to get the build to produce the desired results (products including OS-specific executable launchers with the executable bits set) on a virtual machine running Xubuntu.

I have now switched from Xubuntu to Arch Linux running on a VirtualBox machine. The build works just fine, and the products are built as expected, but the executable bits aren't set anymore.

How can I configure ArchLinux for this to work correctly?

EDIT: Yes, I sudo.

This seems to be caused by a bug similar to Eclipse Bug #368089 for systems where the locale is not US English UTF-8. In my case it was de_DE.UTF-8.

To fix this, simply switch locale before the build as follows.

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Thanks to Jan Sievers and the great Tycho User List (an immensely helpful resource for everyone working with Tycho) for providing a quick solution.
