one of my plugins contains a symlink to filesystem file that is expected to exists in target OS: plugin\xulrunner\plugins\Flash Plugin.plugin -> /Library/Mozilla/Plugins/Flash Plugin.plugin When running the build, the symlink file destination obviously doesn't exist and build system is failing to build plugin in eclipse.gatherBundle step (see log below). This was working before, I think at least when using basebuilder R36_M4. Could this start working again? [eclipse.gatherBundle] Generating metadata for ..

or maybe it used to work previously because build was not using p2.gathering... not sure, I'm rarely running that build.
whops! turned out I've been only experimenting with symlinks, but never got them to working as I said in previous comments. If this never worked, then let's mark as INVALID.
