How to make Gradle stop trying to chmod MANIFEST.MF on an NTFS drive-Collection of common programming errors
I’m somewhat new at Gradle. My development PC dual-boots both Windows and Linux, and so I have an NTFS “data drive” that both OS’s share, and I keep all of my development files on this drive. I have a Gradle Java project that compiles fine under Windows, but, under Linux, it fails with this error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Could not copy MANIFEST.MF to '/(...my project path...)/build/tmp/jar/MANIFEST.MF'.
* Try:
Run with --debug option to get more log output.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleException: Could not copy MANIFEST.MF to '/(...my project path...)/build/tmp/jar/MANIFEST.MF'.

Googling this error turned up absolutely nothing. Of course, the reason for the error is clear enough: NTFS doesn’t support UNIX file permissions (well, it technically can, but I don’t have it configured that way because it messes with Windows’s permissions). When I copied the project to my Linux partition and tried the compile again, it worked.
I looked through the Gradle docs, and can’t seem to find any way to tell it not to set permissions on MANIFEST.MF. (Why does it even need to do that in the first place?) Of course, Gradle has a lot of options, so there may just be something I’m overlooking. Is there any way to tell it to stop trying to set permissions?
