> It looks like the handling of symbolic links in the
> {{maven-resources-plugin}} has changed in version 3.0.x. I'm submitting a
> JIRA because it breaks the previous behavior and I have not been able to find
> this documented anywhere as an intended change.
> *Use case:* Multi-module maven project. We have a custom log4j2
> configuration file we use during testing. Instead of maintaining this file
> in multiple {{src/test/resources}} directories, we instead maintain a single
> copy of the file at the project's root level and create symbolic links from
> each module's {{src/test/resources}} directory to the file using relative
> paths.
> *2.7 Behavior:* the symlink was evaluated and the target file was copied to
> {{target/test-classes/}}.
> *3.0.x Behavior:* the symlink is copied to {{target/test-classes/}} verbatim.
> The symlink's relative path results in the symlink pointing to the wrong
> file location. The log4j2 configuration is not found.
> *Requested Change:* Either revert to the original 2.7 behavior, or document
> the change and provide a configuration parameter to allow the legacy behavior.
