   > When can this happen? I mean, can we create a junction in Java without using native code?
   
   I'm going to experiment with something like:
   ```
           Path testDir = Paths.get( "target/test-dir" ).toAbsolutePath();
           Files.createDirectories( testDir );
           Path orgDir = testDir.resolve( "org-dir" );
           Path jctDir = testDir.resolve( "jct-dir" );
           Files.createDirectories( orgDir );
   
           Process process = new ProcessBuilder()
                   .directory( testDir.toFile() )
                   .command( "mklink", "/J", jctDir.toString(), orgDir.toString() )
                   .start();
           int result = process.waitFor();
   ```
   The idea comes from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/creating-junction-points/
