     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-68?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dan Tran updated MDEP-68:

(was: this is because excludes/includes configurations are are totally ignored by plexus-archiver's TarUnArchiver.

perhaps we can use mojo's truezip component from truezip-maven-plugin, instead of plexus archiver, which has a very flexible configuration and therefor could solve a bunch of issues related to unpack )

> Could dependency:unpack of tar file be made to support symlinks?  The use case is deploying unix/linux shared libraries, with symlinks between different versions of the libraries.
> The current behaviour is that the symlinks becomes 0 byte sized files.
