Creating symlinks with java

[Thomas Kuhlmann]

Hi,

I like to duplicate a whole directory-tree (unix or windows) using a
java-class.
But under unix a directory may contain symlinks and I want to
duplicate the directory with all symlinks without resolving the
symlinks:

src-path/file -> anywhere-else/file --->
dst-path/file -> anywhere-else/file

So does anybody know any way to create symlinks using java???

TIA for any help.

Native code or an external helper.

Under the current File class spec, Runtime.exec() would be only soulution.
