Determine whether a file is a junction (in Windows) or not?

Question

I\'ve been searching around trying to find a way to determine if a file is a junction or not, and have not found any satisfactory answers.

First thing I tried was:

Answer 1

With J2SE 1.7 use Java NIO

/**
* returns true if the Path is a Windows Junction
*/
private static boolean isJunction(Path p) {
    boolean isJunction = false;
    try {
        isJunction = (p.compareTo(p.toRealPath()) != 0);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace(); // TODO: handleMeProperly
    }
    return isJunction;
}
