http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23261 enhance <available type="symbolic_link" /> ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-16 15:46 ------- However we do have org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils.isSymbolicLink(File, String). This is what is used in the <symlink> task. There are a number of caveats to using it as noted in the javadoc: * <p>It doesn't really test for symbolic links but whether the * canonical and absolute paths of the file are identical - this * may lead to false positives on some platforms.</p> However, the platform on which this gives a false positive has not (to my knowledge) been found yet. I would say that this version of available is possible, but should carry the same caveat until sun actually does provide a better interface to native file systems, and then we can drop in a reflection to use a real test when the proper vm is available. I might try to code this up if I have time this weekend, but no guarantees and of course any1 who wants to do it or be sure it gets done is free to beat me to it. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
