                 Key: MASSEMBLY-343
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-343
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2
         Environment: linux, ubuntu 
            Reporter: Godet Gilles


i need to buid archives ( tar for example ) with symbolic links

the plugin build an archive with a file containing the destination of the link, 
not the link itself

=> the plugin need an option to know if deferencement of links is needed 
this is just like -h option of tar
  -h, --dereference
              don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to


actually, if you do an archive of /lib, for example, many file will be in 
double with différent names. extract of archive will not be the exactly the 
same as the source of the archive. => this is a test !
