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

While on Windows a junction's attributes have isSymbolicLink() == false, they have isOther() == true. So you could do something like:

boolean isWindows = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("windows")
BasicFileAttributes attrs = Files.readAttributes(aPath, BasicFileAttributes.class);
boolean isJunction = isWindows && attrs.isDirectory() && attrs.isOther();
