In org.apache.felix.karaf.admin.internal.InstanceImpl.deleteFile() it does a recursive delete. However, it only tests for isDirectory() which is true for links to directories. e.g. a link to root would attempt to delete everything it can. ;)
Apache's FileUtils.isSymlink() does a check and in fact using FileUtils.deleteDirectory() would fix the problem. Perhaps this is a better choice. I will add this to a Jira. -----Original Message----- From: Guillaume Nodet [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 November 2009 15:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Deleting an instance. Could you please raise a JIRA for that ? If you have any idea how to fix this issue, that would be welcomed!
