Gary D. Gregory updated IO-741:
-------------------------------

>                 Key: IO-741
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-741
>             Project: Commons IO
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Utilities
>    Affects Versions: 2.9.0, 2.10.0
>            Reporter: Zach Sherman
>            Priority: Major
>
> This is a regression from 2.6.0.  We are using the following FileUtils utility function to list matching files under a directory:
> {noformat}
> public static Collection<File> listFiles(File directory, String[] extensions, boolean recursive){noformat}
>  
> In particular the call we are making is:
> {noformat}
> FileUtils.listFiles(extension, new String[]{"jar"}, false);{noformat}
> This used to return all matching files in 2.6.0 when the directory was a symlink, but it no longer does. Breaking through the code in a debugger, I was able to manually add the FileVisitOptions.FOLLOW_LINKS option, but this is not specifiable from an external caller outside of commons-io.
