Symlinks converted to regular files on merge
Looking at the jre/legal folder in build/:
├── legal
│ ├── java.base
│ │ ├── ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO
│ │ ├── aes.md
│ │ ├── asm.md
│ │ ├── ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
│ │ ├── cldr.md
│ │ ├── c-libutl.md
│ │ ├── icu.md
│ │ ├── LICENSE
│ │ ├── public_suffix.md
│ │ └── unicode.md
│ └── jdk.unsupported
│ ├── ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO -> ../java.base/ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO
│ ├── ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION -> ../java.base/ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
│ └── LICENSE -> ../java.base/LICENSE
We can see that the license files in jdk.unsupported link to the ones in
java.base. After merging to the image folder in build/ we get
├── legal
│ ├── java.base
│ │ ├── ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO
│ │ ├── aes.md
│ │ ├── asm.md
│ │ ├── ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
│ │ ├── cldr.md
│ │ ├── c-libutl.md
│ │ ├── icu.md
│ │ ├── LICENSE
│ │ ├── public_suffix.md
│ │ └── unicode.md
│ └── jdk.unsupported
│ ├── ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO
│ ├── ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
│ └── LICENSE
The license files in jdk.unsupported are turned into regular files with 777
permissions. I imagine the symlink removal is on purpose (symlinks in zip files
don't work with Windows anyway), but why are the permissions changed?
There's an open issue about symlink copying for Gradle itself: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/3982
It wouldn't surprise me if this is just another casualty of that.
It might be possible to work around it, but the best outcome is they fix it.
