Description

Copying a symlink fails if the target does not exist.  If the symlink is relative the order that the resources are copied matter.  If A points to B but A is copied before B the copying of A will fail with a non-helpful message "Failed to execute goal ... on project xxx: <file path here>".

 

This started failing for me on 3.2.0 (and works on 3.1.0) but that might be because somewhere in the dependencies the traversal order changed somehow.
