Symlink in build.xml does not work well with Cygwin

Key: AVRO-281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-281
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
Assignee: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
Attachments: AVRO-281.patch
Ant's symlink task seems to have trouble if the link already exists. So any
attempt to build for a second time fails. We use symlink to link version
specific JavaCC jar to javacc.jar. Curiously, even if you succeed in symlink
for javacc, javacc task fails with an error that javacc.jar or JavaCC.zip
cannot be found in path. It appears that the ant problem has been around for
some time:

The forthcoming patch addresses the problem by replacing symlink with a delete
and copy. I could have simply used copy with overwrite="true", but, I'm not
sure how it'll behave with existing symlinks.
