> 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.
