>                 Key: MNG-5806
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5806
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Dependencies
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.1, 3.3.2
>         Environment: Ubuntu
>            Reporter: Jeffry Gaston
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: maven-relativePath-symlink-error.zip

>   Original Estimate: 1h
>          Time Spent: 10m
>  Remaining Estimate: 50m

> Suppose a reactor pom.xml, R, specifies that it has a child module, C.
> Suppose that C exists but not is actually located at some other, unrelated path to R (not one directory deeper than R).
> Suppose that the working directory for R contains a symlink, S (which looks like C), with the same name as C, pointing at the directory containing C.
> Suppose that C specifies a parent P and provides a relativePath at which to find P.
> Suppose that P exists at the specified relative path.
> Then, when a user `mvn clean install` while R is in the working directory, then Maven will state that P does not exist, and it will display the wrong path to P: the value it will list will be the value that could be computed using string manipulation based on the location of R, the name of C, and the relativePath to P, without first resolving the symlink that is C.
