I created symbolic link jboss7 for hard link jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded and it worked fine in Finder. Then I made backup before modifying JBoss...
ln -s jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded jboss7
cp jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded-orig
Later, I renamed the hard link to jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded-modified and replaced it with backup.
mv jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded-modified
mv jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded-orig jboss-as-7.1.1.Final-downloaded
The symbolic link properly points to the backup with the same filename (ending with -downloaded), but Finder shows and treats the symbolic link incorrectly, saying it is alias for folder ending with (-downloaded-modified).
Is Finder supposed to treat symbolic links in this manner? How do I update Finder to recognize the symbolic link as point to the current hard link?
Side point: commands I wrote using tcsh terminal or Finder (don't remember, and terminal history does not go far enough back to answer this).
