[jira] Moved: (MCLEAN-10) Option to "mvn clean" task not to follow soft links

["John Casey (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-10?page=all ]

> Our project builds an executable into our "install" subproject under "install/target". To do a test-run of this executable, I usually symlink a directory containing about 1 million test-data files into the directory tree below "target". I much prefer symlinking this test-data directory instead of copying it, because of the time it takes to copy.
> However, if I inadvertently do "mvn clean" without removing this link, maven will follow the symlink and recursively remove my whole input document directory.
> An option to "mvn clean", like "dontFollowSymlinks", could do the trick
