[jira] [Resolved] (IO-295) FileUtils.isSymlinks misses symlink folders on Windows

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-295?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebb resolved IO-295.
---------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

There's little point fixing this now; Java 7 users can just use java.nio.file.Files.isSymbolicLink(Path path) which works for all OSes

> I created a symlink folder via mklink.
> Then, while debugging, I noticed that FileUtils.isSymlink() returns false on this directory, while Java 7's Files.isSymbolicLink() returns true.
