A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Given a symbolic link A which points to a directory B. When I select A by means of a DirectoryChooser, the returned File is B instead of A.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
create a symbolic link to a directory, from the command prompt:
mklink /D foo bar

run the JavaFX application below, which simply opens a DirectoryChooser
select "foo"
an alert is shown with the result that was returned by the DirectoryChooser, which points to "bar" instead of "foo"

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
the DirectoryChooser must return the symbolic link instead of the directory it points to
ACTUAL -
the DirectoryChooser returns the actual directory that the symbolic link points to

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
