Description

I have Git installed on my Windows machine. That includes the ln.exe command line executable. The Git installation adds its bin directory to the path. I imagine the same would be true if you install GnuWin32 CoreUtils, which also includes ln.exe.

The result is the following test failure:

Failed tests: testIncludesDontFollowSymlinks(org.apache.maven.shared.model.fileset.util.FileSetUtilsTest): expected:<1> but was:<2>

This is because the test code creates links using ln on the command line, and the code to test for symbolic links doesn't work on Windows.
