Your best bet is to implement the FileSystemView or extend the
NativeFileSystem and override the listFiles method to omit symlinks. For
Java 1.6 and earlier versions, below is a link to figure out if a file is a
symlink. Not sure if it works on all OSes, but should work on *NIX systems.
If using Java 1.7, I believe there are APIs to do this.

If you do not want to write your own implementation, then you can provide a
patch with a configurable parameter so the NativeFileSystem would
include/exclude symlinks.

Hope this helps.

Sai.
