Stanford S. Guillory commented on IO-295:
-----------------------------------------
Guys,
This is not a Windows only issue. This bit us today in our CI build on an
Ubuntu build node. In migrating our build nodes, we moved to a raid disk array,
and starting using symbolic links to keep our build configs the same, and a
number of unit tests starting failing due to FileUtils.isSymbolicLink() falsely
reporting that leaf file was a symbolic link.
I agree with Will Erickson. The Commons IO FileUtils.deleteDirectory() is
calling the defective method and should be fixed.

> I created a symlink folder via mklink.
> Then, while debugging, I noticed that FileUtils.isSymlink() returns false on
> this directory, while Java 7's Files.isSymbolicLink() returns true.
