           Summary: symlink fails on second call
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: devant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jhatfielyahoo.com


The second time a symlink line gets called, it fails. 
Specificially, I was
seeing this when a symlink was being created in a dependent
target, but you can
get the same result by calling ant with the same target name
twice on the
command line.

Run the (to be attached) build.xml file either way, and it
will fail with:
build.xml:14: Must define the resource to symlink to!

Of course, it works the first time through the target.

ant taska taskb
ant subtask subtask

Both fail as described above.

Created an attachment (id=20626)
 --> (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attac
hment.cgi?id=20626&action=view)
another build.xml illustrating problem!

Here are the results of this build.xml file =>
test1:
  [symlink] ln -s bar foo

test2:
  [symlink] ln -s bar foo
  [symlink] /bin/ln: `foo': File exists

BUILD FAILED
build.xml:6: ln failed with return code 1

------
It seems that neither "overwrite" and
"failonerror" is working as expected. (I
would expect "overwrite=true" to prevent this
problem, and "failonerror=false"
to stop the build from failing when the problem does
occur.)

When I do "ln -s -f bar foo" from the command
line, it works fine.
