followSymLinks is always set to true
------------------------------------
Key: MCLEAN-39
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-39
Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.3
Environment: Maven 2.0.9, Linux
Reporter: Bouiaw
Priority: Blocker
>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.
