Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 In a Dynamic Web Project, when I attempt to link a folder as a subfolder to the WebContent all files in the linked folder are deleted. This only happens when linking the folder using the "default" file system. If I use "RSE" things seem to work as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new Dynamic Web Project 2. Create a folder in the project root e.g. "linkMe" 3. Create a file "testFile.txt" in the "linkeMe" folder 4. Link "linkMe" as a new folder under WebContent using the default file system. Right click on WebContent, New, Folder, click Advanced, select "Link to alternate location", browse to the "linkMe" created in step 2, Finish 5. the file created in step 3 will no longer be there. 6. any new file created in the original "linkMe" folder will be removed, but if it is created under the linked folder it remains.

My earlier comment about it not happening when using "RSE" was incorrect. It still happens.
Tried under Ubuntu 10.04(32-bit) with the same result.
Does this bug (use-case) depend on the folders being named the same? Is that the point? Or any 'ol linked folder?
any 'ol linked folder
