There is currently no configuration for symlinks. Since the dependency plugin uses the plexus archiver/unarchiver, I'd have to see how symlinks are supported and was configuration might be needed. File a Jira for this and I'll take a look.

Platform: maven-2.0.4 maven-dependency-plugin 2.0-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT (the maven dependency report variant checked out from subversion) I'm trying to use dependency:unpack to download and unpack a tgz file containing shared libs and symlinks between different versions of the shared libs. However, using dependency:unpack on an <artifactItem> with <type>tgz</type>, doesn't seem to handle symlinks. The symlinks turn into files with size 0. Is there a config parameter I'm missing (the <plugin> <execution> attached to the end of this file)? Is there a workaround I could try? One thing that's possible is to have maven run an ant task for doing an <exec> to do the untar operation. Does that sound feasible? Or does it contain too many complicating steps?
