It's fantastic that you're looking into this, one of the truly big issues, many complaining about over a long time.
I made an attempt here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1577 And also watch this, which describes the status and workaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6lOQS2rWK0 Also, I ran your commands: $ ls -lh /var lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11B Apr 10 2018 /var -> private/var $ jrunscript -e 'var f = new File("/var"); java.lang.System.out.println(f); java.lang.System.out.println(f.toPath().toRealPath().toFile())' Warning: Nashorn engine is planned to be removed from a future JDK release /var /private/var Thanks and happy to test and try anything to get this further.
