[GitHub] [maven-dependency-plugin] mkarg opened a new pull request #87: [MDEP-437] - mdep.link=true creates symlink instead of physical copy

mkarg opened a new pull request #87:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-dependency-plugin/pull/87


   This PR proposes an implementation of [MDEP-437]: It provides a new property `mdep.link=true` (default is `false`) which lets the `copy` mojo produce symlinks instead of physical copies.
   
   The benefit is that the user of this mojo now has control whether to invest time and space for real copies, or whether to spare it and just live with symbolic links.

   I have added a check that (as best as it can) solves the problem with Windows by checking if symlinks are supported at all. Test drive with Linux and Windows worked well. @michael-o WDYT?
