[tycho-user] Adding symbolic links in eclipse product's root folder

[Rafael M Teixeira <rafaelmt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with adding symbolic links to an eclipse product 
using build.properties' root property. What I'm trying to do is add a 
folder to the root of an eclipse product that contains a number of files 
and symbolic links that point to some of these files. Turns out that in 
some cases just the link (or just the target file) is added to the 
build. I'm not sure if it's possible to nail down which one (file or 
link) will be included, but it's consistent at least (the same one is 
included in different builds).

Attached is a small project that demonstrates the problem. You can see 
that some files were not added to the root by extracting the .zip file 
produced in the example-feature's target folder.

Is this behaviour expected? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using 
version 0.13.0-SNAPSHOT. The problem does not occur in 0.12.0

Regards,
Rafael M. Teixeira
