Description

Filtering does not work on files which are symlinks. The files gets copied so it is not totally broken.
The resource plugin seems to handle this correctly.

Typical assmbly descriptor:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<assembly>
<id>install-jrf</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<baseDirectory>${project.artifactId}</baseDirectory>
<includeSiteDirectory>false</includeSiteDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtered>true</filtered>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>

If files under src/main/resources are symlinks they will be copied but not filtered.
I get this warning/info in the log(running 2.2.1):
