Olivier Lamy commented on MRESOURCES-237: ----------------------------------------- the main issue with this change: it has never been documented and I guess it's an non intended change :) it causes this issue [https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-59291] I will try to add a parameter to be able to restore the previous behaviour (a parameter to be backward compatible :P ) > Resource plugin's handling of symbolic links changed in 3.0.x, broke existing > behavior > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRESOURCES-237 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-237 > Project: Maven Resources Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 > Environment: Apache Maven 3.3.9 > (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T11:41:47-05:00) > Java version: 1.8.0_121, vendor: Oracle Corporation > Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.121-1.b14.fc25.x86_64/jre > Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 > OS name: "linux", version: "4.9.11-200.fc25.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: > "unix" > Reporter: Brian D. Johnson > Assignee: Olivier Lamy > Priority: Minor > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
