在Linux中运行时如何用Java创建符号链接？

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
