Edit Question
Title
Body
In a DirectoryWalker class I want to find out if a File instance is actually a symbolic link to a directory (assuming, the walker walks on UNIX systems). Given, I already know the instance is a directory, would the following be a reliable condition to determine the symbolic link? File file; // ... if (file.getAbsolutePath().equals(file.getCanonicalPath())) { // real directory ---> do normal stuff } else { // possible symbolic link ---> do link stuff }
