Couldn't it be optimized on windows by simply remove the check ? Windows don't have symbolic link... We could either have followSymlinks being not used if we are on window, either having it forced to true, or using a subclass of FileUtils that has method specificaly tuned for windows when we are on windows . Note that, seeing the current definition of symbolic link [1], I'm not 100% sure that this wouldn't bring any regression. Also, we will have to take care if someone manage to have a jvm ported on cygwin. But AFAIK, this is not available.
