----------------------------------
Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue when using this signature :
{code:java}
public static Collection<File> listFiles(final File directory, final
IOFileFilter fileFilter, final IOFileFilter dirFilter)
{code}
Calling :
{code:java}
FileUtils.listFiles(symlink, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE);
{code}
does return the symlink only, not the content of the linked folder.
> FileUtils.listFiles does not list matching files if File parameter is a
> symbolic link

> Key: IO-741
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-741
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.9.0, 2.10.0
> Reporter: Zach Sherman
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.11.0
>
>
> This is a regression from 2.6.0. We are using the following FileUtils
> utility function to list matching files under a directory:
> {noformat}
> public static Collection<File> listFiles(File directory, String[] extensions,
> boolean recursive){noformat}
>
> In particular the call we are making is:
> {noformat}
> FileUtils.listFiles(extension, new String[]{"jar"}, false);{noformat}
> This used to return all matching files in 2.6.0 when the directory was a
> symlink, but it no longer does. Breaking through the code in a debugger, I
> was able to manually add the FileVisitOptions.FOLLOW_LINKS option, but this
> is not specifiable from an external caller outside of commons-io.
