Will Erickson commented on IO-295:
----------------------------------
I disagree.
Apache Commons code also calls this flawed implementation instead of calling
java.nio.file.Files.isSymbolicLink.
Here's an example:
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-io/commons-io/2.4/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.java/#1529
In this particular case calling deleteDirectory() in windows will give vastly
different results than it does in Linux/Unix
If you're going to tell people to stop using this implementation, you should
also follow your own advice, and stop using it internally too.
> FileUtils.isSymlinks misses symlink folders on Windows
