[jira] Commented: (MCLEAN-39) followSymLinks is always set to true

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-39?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=164242#action_164242 ] 

Bouiaw commented on MCLEAN-39:
------------------------------

The only workaround I have found is to use 2.1.1 release.

>                 Key: MCLEAN-39
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-39
>             Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.3
>         Environment: Maven 2.0.9, Linux
>            Reporter: Bouiaw
>            Priority: Blocker
>
> From my tests, followSymLinks that is used to delete the content of symlink when it is set to true, is not taken in account.
> It should be a regression caused by http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-28
> This is a blocker bug, since it could delete all the filesystem easily, and there is no workaround. Even when I set followSymLinks  explicitley to false, Maven clean 2.3 follow symlinks and delete its contents.
> To reproduce :
> Declare 2.3 clean plugin in your pom
> mkdir /tmp/test
> touch /tmp/test/foo
> symlink -s /tmp/test /myproject/target/test
> cd /myproject
> mvn clean
> After runnig that, /tmp/test is empty !
> If it is confirmed, I would recommand to release quickly a 2.4 version with a fix, since in is REALLY dansgerous.
