Description

The Maven Assembly plugin (v2.5) should bundle symlinks correctly while assembling resources.
(As per the resolved issue - https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-343)

With v2.4, it was dereferencing and resolving all such symlinks.
With v2.5, it is bundling those symlinks as empty directories.
