    Description

      This is a regression from 2.6.0.  We are using the following FileUtils utility function to list matching files under a directory:

      public static Collection<File> listFiles(File directory, String[] extensions, boolean recursive)

       

      In particular the call we are making is:

      FileUtils.listFiles(extension, new String[]{"jar"}, false);

      This used to return all matching files in 2.6.0 when the directory was a symlink, but it no longer does. Breaking through the code in a debugger, I was able to manually add the FileVisitOptions.FOLLOW_LINKS option, but this is not specifiable from an external caller outside of commons-io.
