http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15031 ANT <copy> with <fileset> does not spot bad symlinks [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-23 13:21 ------- I'm not sure what we can do here. Java does not support symlinks. The methods java.io.File.getAbsolutePath() and getCanonicalPath() return the same value for the broken link - so the trick of detecting links from the difference between these two is not available. Also, according to java.io.File the file does not exist. BTW, for me Ant did not drop its pants on the explicit copy of the broken link. I get /tmp/bad.xml:12: Warning: Could not find file /tmp/src_with_some_bad_links/badlink to copy. Seems reasonable behaviour given the limitations above. I'm going to mark this as WONTFIX meaning CANTFIX. Sorry. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
