To a certain extent, yes. > But I suppose there's a good reason for not using that method Symbolic links. On Unix, getCanonicalPath will resolve the link and return the absolute filename of the file you've linked to. In most situations this is not what we want. Suppose a directory structure A |-> B |-> C for <fileset dir="A" includes="B/**"/>. We want to include B, even if it happens to be a symbolic link to C.
