I was not able to get anything built into ANT to work either in terms of preserving file permissions. I had to resort to using exec task and running a real tar command. I chose bsdtar as I could get a version compiled for all of my supported platforms. I then choose the appropriate bsdtar exe to run based on my platform.

I'd like to know if it supports any of the following - 1) unlimited tar size and tar entry size 2) support the full POSIX tar standard or more modern GNU extension of said standard 3) able to preserve file permissions after untar (I tried this and this doesn't seem to work... always uses the default values for files and directories) Thanks so much!
