ear:ear and symbolic links in repository

[an...@nokia.com]

Hi,
 
I am trying to assemble an ear file with maven 1.0.2 on linux. The
problem is that I have a lot of dependencies, which have to go into the
ear file as libraries, which have to be downloaded from the web and
manually added to the repository. I did this with symbolic links under
linux, and this is causing problems for the ear:ear goal. The below
mentioned oss_common_spec-1.2.jar is copied to the repository for
testing purposes (it was a link previously), the oss_cbe_service_spec is
a symbolic link. I couldn't find any open bug report for this behaviour.
The problem is - as far as I can tell - that the test

<j:if
test="${!(checkFile.getAbsolutePath().equals(checkFile.getCanonicalPath(
)))}">

Doesn't work for symbolic links.

Here's the output from the build:
 
ear:ear:
