When copying artifact using the Copy Artifact plugin, symlinks are replaced by the referred files or directory.

      It would be nice to have an option to preserve symlinks when copying artifacts.

          Since ArtifactArchiver preserves symlinks, it is natural for CopyArtifact to do so as well.
