Yes, of course - hopefully in Java 7! A warning in the documentation would be handy!
Didn't try assembly:directory but surely it also needs to copy/recognise links so won't work either, so only way I can see is to drop into OS or ant symlink. I have an install script so simply changed it to build the links, so not a showstopper for me.

One (albeit roundabout) alternative is to use assembly:directory, and then exec tar to produce the assembly. - Brett 2008/8/20 Simon Spacey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi > > I need to assemble a tar.gz artifact with directories containing some > symbolic links. > I'm using filesets in assembly 2.2-beta-2to copy the source directories, but > the sym links are not replicated (as they would be if I used tar): > If the symlink is resolvable then the link is resolved and copied. > If the symlink is not resolvable then it's silently ignored. > > Is there a way to get the links replicated? > > Thanks, > Simon > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Symlink-in-assembly-tp19066796p19066796.html > Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Brett Porter Blog: http://blogs.exist.com/bporter/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
