>
> Key: MCLEAN-39
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCLEAN-39
> Project: Maven Clean Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: Maven 2.0.9, Linux
> Reporter: Sébastien Deleuze
> Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.4
>
> Attachments: clean.txt, test-clean.zip

> From my tests, followSymLinks that is used to delete the content of symlink
> when it is set to true, is not taken in account.
> It should be a regression caused by http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-28
> This is a blocker bug, since it could delete all the filesystem easily, and
> there is no workaround. Even when I set followSymLinks explicitley to false,
> Maven clean 2.3 follow symlinks and delete its contents.
> To reproduce :
> Declare 2.3 clean plugin in your pom
> mkdir /tmp/test
> touch /tmp/test/foo
> symlink -s /tmp/test /myproject/target/test
> cd /myproject
> mvn clean
> After runnig that, /tmp/test is empty !
> If it is confirmed, I would recommand to release quickly a 2.4 version with a
> fix, since in is REALLY dansgerous.
