Description Patrick Keegan 2002-06-20 20:57:12 UTC 
I tried this on an *.hs and a *.jhm file (JavaHelp formats) in a JAR that I had mounted. Sorry if 
this is a duplicate (I thought it was already filed, but I couldn't find it).

Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2003-03-14 17:17:34 UTC 
The issue is now fixed by recent introducing of the attributes storage
in the  <jar-file>.nbattrs for each jar file mounted.

However it's true that there can still be cases when the file's
attributes will be readonly. For example if there is no .nbattrs file
in a readonly folder (with writable files) then the attempt for
.nbattrs creation fails. The problem is that AFAIK there is no API for
finding out whether particular fileobject can be assigned attributes
successfuly or not i.e. something like FileObject.canChangeAttributes().
Question for OPENIDE: Would it make sense to implement such API? As
its purely filesystem's choice to implement the attributes storage the
external clients are unable to find whether the storing of the
attributes is possible or not.

verified in 3.5 (works on an .hs file that is in a jar).
