[jira] Created: (MNG-2374) Option to "mvn clean" task not to follow
soft links
Option to "mvn clean" task not to follow soft links
---------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2374
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2374
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Environment: UNIX
Reporter: Roar Lauritzsen
Priority: Minor
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

[jira] Closed: (MCLEAN-10) Option to "mvn clean" task not to follow
soft links
Posted by "Joakim Erdfelt (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>.
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-10?page=all ]
Joakim Erdfelt closed MCLEAN-10.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Work has already been done.
file-management 1.0 has followSymlinks implemented.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/shared/tags/file-management-1.0/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/shared/model/fileset/util/FileSetManager.java?view=markup
I tested the <followSymlinks>false</followSymlinks> functionality on my local linux machine by linking in some content from ~/tmp/ into a sample projects ${basedir}/target/foo works as advertised.

--------------------------------------
file-management 1.1-SNAPSHOT definately has this implemented and wired up.

----------------------------------
this option is currently available via the file-management API, which the clean plugin uses as of release 2.1, though I'm not sure whether it's wired up.
Need to experiment by configuring:
<followSymlinks>false</followSymlinks>

---------------------------------------
This seems like the way to do it:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<fileset>
<directory>target</directory>
<followSymlinks>false</followSymlinks>
</fileset>
</configuration>
</plugin>
