#340: DIRECTORY applied to symbolic links with non-existent targets returns errors --------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: mevenson | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 1.3.0 Component: interpreter | Version: 1.3.0-dev Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by mevenson): Apache Commons uses the mismatch between canonical version of the directory of the java.io.File object and the object itself to determine whether the file possibly refers to a symbolic link. Reportedly this doesn't work on Windows. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/813710/java-1-6-determine-symbolic- links -- Ticket URL: <http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/340#comment:3> armedbear <http://abcl.org> armedbear
