Davor Krtic commented on MNG-7188:
----------------------------------
How does your link look like from Windows CMD or PS ?
>From some SO thread: Default Cygwin symlinks are just regular files
When I create a symlink after i do
{code:java}
export CYGWIN="winsymlinks:nativestrict"
{code}
then it works, but I have to start Cygwin as Administrator to be able to create
symlinks.
How the links look from CMD :
{code:java}
15.07.2021 22:52 <JUNCTION> link_default [...]
15.07.2021 22:52 <SYMLINKD> link_strict [3.8.1]
{code}
And from PS:
{code:java}
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
d----l 15.07.2021 22:52 link_strict
-a---l 15.07.2021 22:52 0 link_default
{code}
> Maven fails to start in Cygwin when installed with SDKMAN
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-7188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7188
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.8.1
> Environment: Windows 10, Cygwin, SDKMAN
> Reporter: Davor Krtic
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: waiting-for-feedback
>
>
> Exception:
> {noformat}
> java.io.FileNotFoundException:
> C:\cygwin64\home\davor.krtic\.sdkman\candidates\maven\current\bin\m2.conf
> ...{noformat}
> {{current}} folder is a symlink which Windows doesn't recognize. (SDKMAN uses
> symlinks to manage different versions)
> Changing the following line in the {{mvn}} script from:
> {code:java}
> MAVEN_HOME=`cd "$MAVEN_HOME" && pwd`
> {code}
> to:
> {code:java}
> MAVEN_HOME=`cd "$MAVEN_HOME" && pwd -P`
> {code}
> fixes the problem as it avoids symlinks.
