[jira] Commented: (MDEP-68) Make dependency:unpack of tar files
support symlinks
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-68?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=142411#action_142411 ]
Oleg Alexeyev commented on MDEP-68:
-----------------------------------
Another use case: Java runtime is packed as a tar.bz2 archive and is a maven module, other modules have dependency on it. Sun's JRE contains symlinks, so use of unpack-dependencies results in broken JRE :(.
> Make dependency:unpack of tar files support symlinks
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: MDEP-68
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-68
> Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: unpack, unpack-dependencies
> Reporter: Steinar Bang
> Assignee: Brian Fox

> Could dependency:unpack of tar file be made to support symlinks? The use case is deploying unix/linux shared libraries, with symlinks between different versions of the libraries.
> The current behaviour is that the symlinks becomes 0 byte sized files.
