What benefit does this have aside from a tiny saving in disk space?
Not that tiny when you multiply it across the dozens of projects on
your hard drive.
repos $ du -hc $(ls */lib/*.jar) | fgrep total
291M total
Add to that the size of the Maven repo itself.
Symlinks are nice.
* you can tarball your project directory, rsync it another machine or
whatever and everything you need will be right there. No need to
worry about redownloading anything or copying your local maven cache
around.
Unix is great.
man tar:
-h, --dereference
don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to
