Eclipse-wtp doesn't add wb-resource elements when the sourcePath is a linked resource

Currently it is not possible to add linked resources to the Deployment Assembly within an Eclipse WTP project. The following doesn’t work since “client” is not a valid directory, it’s a linked resource.

eclipse {
 project {
  linkedResource name: 'client', type: '2', location: "${project(':flex:client').projectDir}/bin"
 }
   wtp {
  component {
   resource sourcePath: 'client', deployPath: '/'
  }
 }
}

Expected behavior: The eclipse-wtp plugin shouldn’t ignore linked resources when they are added as wb-resource elements.
