Why eclipse change the permission and how to disable it?

Question

I work with eclipse (in fact last version of Zend Studio) and the project i currently work on is in a distant directory mounted with samba.

When i save a PHP file, permissions are changed and the executable flag is added. I don't have the problem when i execute a touch on the file.

Did you already encounters this problem? How to resolve it?

Thanks

Isn't it the samba which changes the permissions? Have you tried editing the files in some other program than Eclipse (but still using the distant directory offered by samba)? — Grzegorz Oledzki, May 12 '11 at 09:39
I tried with touch and vim and the permissions didn't change. I thinks this is related to samba too, but why eclipse does that? My admin switch create permission on the shared directory and now it works. Maybe eclipse delete and re-create the file. Weird. — Brice Favre, May 12 '11 at 09:43
Maybe you can try to strace Eclipse and see what it really does? — Grzegorz Oledzki, May 12 '11 at 09:45
I find something interesting there : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323681 — Brice Favre, May 12 '11 at 09:49
That's a good finding. But they claim they have fixed the problem in 3.6. Is your Zend Studio using an older version of the Eclipse platform? — Grzegorz Oledzki, May 12 '11 at 09:51
No, i think this will be ported in 3.7 and someone offers to do a backport https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323681#c37 Zend Studio use the last stable version (august or september 2010) — Brice Favre, May 12 '11 at 10:03
You're right. I thought it's the Version field there, but it's the "Target Milestone" which is the one about when will be the things solved. — Grzegorz Oledzki, May 12 '11 at 10:22

Meanwhile, a modification of the shared directory configuration helped to resolve the problem for some files.

Thanks.
