How to make a symlink in Java/JVM when running in Linux? Are there any other ways to this than using Java Native Interface (JNI) or java.lang.Runtime.exec("/bin/ln -s /some/path symlink")?
Creating a symlink is very platform dependant, but I mostly care about running on Linux, nice bonus would be if a shortcut would be created in Windows.
The JDK 7 includes (via NIO.2) a class called Files that provides a createSymbolicLink() method.
Previous versions don't provide any built-in way to produce that, so JNI or Runtime.exec() are your only real options.
