--- Comment #4 from Maarten Coene <maarten_co...@yahoo.com> --- I don't know how often they are used either. I'm a Windows user for a very long time and never saw them in action. But I ran into this issue when using npm on Windows. Seems like I'm not the only one, this is exactly the issue I had: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/5189 Yes I also think it would be great if we could support that. The stackoverflow link I posted earlier contains 2 possible suggestions for how to detect Windows Junctions using Java8 API. - Using the Path.toRealPath() method: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29699473 - Using BasicFileAttributes: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48291462 Do you have a preference? I can try to submit a patch for this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
