Suggestion: Use Path as type for parameters `junction` and `target` to avoid 
Path|File->String->Path|File conversions (e.g. the only caller Basic.java 
already has a Path object for parameter junction, why convert to a String just 
to recreate a File inside `createDirectoryJunction`).

Suggestion: Junctions are Windows-only, so why not throw a RuntimeException for 
the non-windows case (and maybe also rename the method to something like 
`createWindowsDirectoryJunction`)
