Summary: File mode gets lost when saved via symlink

Initial Comment:
Using jedit 4.3.2 on linux, java version "1.6.0_22". When I save a file that is being \
accessed via a symlink, the file's mode gets changed to 777 i.e. the mode of the link \
and not the original file mode.

I am not familiar with the jedit code but FileVFS.java looks like it could be causing \
the problem by using "ls -ld" to obtain a file's permissions. On linux, "ls -lH" \
would dereference the symbolic link but I don't know if -H is acceptable to all \
versions of ls or is it a gnuism?

Cheers,

Mark

Message:
err, you still need the -d so that you can determine the permissions of a
directory so that should have been 'ls -ldL'

On linux, that behaves as expected for files, directories, and also files
and directories pointed to by symlinks, i.e. in all cases it gives you the
permissions of the file or dir and not the link.

Message:
Looking at the ls man page, it appears that the -L option does exactly what
we want so, how about using 'ls -lL' to determine a file's permisions?
