body: <p>How to make a symlink in Java/JVM when running in Linux? Are there any other ways to this than using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Interface" rel="noreferrer">Java Native Interface (JNI)</a> or <code>java.lang.Runtime.exec("/bin/ln -s /some/path symlink")</code>?</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
