chmod: cannot access with exec-maven-plugin version later 1.1

[C-h-e-r-r-y]

Consider a cofiguration:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${exec-maven-plugin.version}</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>script-chmod</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>exec</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}</workingDirectory>
          <executable>chmod</executable>
          <arguments>
            <argument>+x</argument>
            <argument>${project.build.directory}/target/tomcat/bin/*.sh</argument>
          </arguments>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
      <execution>
        <id>start-tomcat</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>exec</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <executable>target/tomcat/bin/startup.sh</executable>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

When exec-maven-plugin.version is 1.1 everything works, but when it 1.5.0, 1.4.0 ot 1.3.2 I got en error: chmod: cannot access ‘/mypath/tomcat/bin/*.sh’: No such file or directory

Note version 1.1 works without workingDirectory tag.

To experiment you can download and extract tomcat version 7.0.68

Operation system is Ubuntu 15.10 java version is 1.8.0_66-b17 maven version 3.3.3

Hello, Same problem for me.

I tried the configuration below for the version 1.6.0 :

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>Add execution rigths on bash scripts</id>
      <phase>initialize</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>exec</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <executable>chmod</executable>
	<arguments>
          <argument>755</argument>
          <argument>${project.basedir}/env_dev/scripts/*.sh</argument>
        </arguments>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

I get a No such file or directory message at execution while the command chmod 755 ${project.basedir}/env_dev/scripts/*.sh work perfectly with the same user in the virtual machine.

Some news ?
