    • Verified

      On Microsoft Windows, `java.nio.file.Files.createSymbolicLink` has been changed so that it can now be used to create symbolic links when the process is not elevated but the user is running in "Developer Mode". This may be useful for tools and other development time tasks that need to create symbolic links without requiring additional privileges.
