Re: [2/2] ant git commit: symlink and executable file selectors

[Antoine Levy Lambert]

Hello Stefan,

there is a command mklink on Windows [1] which is described as being able to 
create symbolic links.
There is also an API function CreateSymbolicLink [2].

Concerning executable files, it seems that the executable nature of a file 
depends upon its extension, see [3].
So maybe if we create a file xyz.bat the file should be found executable.
What I do not understand is that I have practical remembrances of changing the 
executable flag of a file under cygwin and this “chmod” command allowing dll s 
to actually work on Windows after they were untarred or copied with cygwin 
utilities.

I hope this helps. 

Using a library called jna (java native access) [4] we could call system level 
methods from java and make them available within ant tasks for testing or 
production purposes.

Regards,

Antoine
