jaikiran pai resolved IVY-1498.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: jaikiran pai
Fix Version/s: master
[~stephen], The upcoming release of Ivy requires Java 7 as a minimum version.
So I went ahead and borrowed the idea from your patch and applied a fix very
similar to that one and included a test case to verify it, in our master
branch. Thanks for reporting this issue and also the patch.
> Mixed use of symlinks leads to cache corruption

>
> If a user switches between "use symlinks" or not (or, say, has ant/ivy
> configured with symlinks but Eclipse/IvyDE without symlinks), the ivycache
> can be corrupted.
> Specifically, if a symlink was setup in symlink mode:
> lib/foo.jar --> ivycache/com/foo/foo-1.2.jar
> And then later we retrieve into lib without symlink mode, Ivy retrieve will
> write, say, foo-1.3.jar's bytes into the lib/foo.jar location...which will
> then overwrite the foo-1.2.jar bytes in the ivycache.
