symlink in my webapp
Hello All,
I tried to add a symlink to a folder today in my webapp folder and after running maven2 I saw that in the target I have now a duplicated folder instead of a symlink to the other folder. Is there a way to tell maven to copy symlinks as files?
thanks,
Janos

you're asking a java class in the apps layer to manipulate a feature of the OS below it
I would suggest using an ant copy *.lnk in a suitable goal to target with something like
<goal name="copy" description="Copies the ProjectObjectModel to a directory"/>
<!-- Basic Ant task -->
<copy file="${basedir}/*.lnk" tofile="${maven.copy.target.dir}/*.lnk"/>
</goal> Martin

or you could use jna.dev.java.net which can support them

No. Java doesn't know about symlinks, therefore Maven2 does not
either. Perhaps Java7 will address this.
