Maven target directory is owned by root after build

mangar — Sun, 02 May 2021 19:15:08 GMT

I am using the AIO SDK 4.2 When I try and run and start the application,

sudo ./run.sh build_start

All of the target directories are owned by root. I cannot then do a simple mvn install on an updated amp or whatever without doing a recursive chown. Not to mention Eclipse hates it and wont build anything.

Create the project under home folder of the user to avoid such issues.

or else do the following if not using home folder and see if it works

Provide the rwx group permission and add the user to the group you are using to start the build.

example, create a new group :

sudo groupadd Alfresco

Add the user you are currently using to the newly created group:

sudo usermod -a -G Alfresco alfresco

Here user is "alfresco"

Now provide recursive group permission from the main directory of your project.
make sure permission is set to rwx

sudo chgrp -R Alfresco /usr/local/myAioProject

sudo chmod -R 775 /usr/local/myAioProject

I had to add alfresco to the docker group, but the same idea, thank you!
