--- Comment #5 from Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org> --- I know it's been a while. Given that Windows supports symlinks by now and Ant works for them, we probably don't want to treat junctions and symlinks the same way. If we wanted to do anything special for junctions we should probably add a FileUtils.isWindowsJunction (names, you know) method and add new followWindowsJunctions attributes where followSymlinks attribute live today. It probably needs to default to true in order to remain backwards compatible. As for the way how we detect junctions I'm pretty much on the fence. The linked https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8031083 seems to indicate Alan Bateman of the JDK team would recommend the isOther BasicFileAttributes approach together with Os.isFamily("windows"). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
