In JDK-8281966, the test/jdk/javax/swing/JFileChooser/FileChooserSymLinkTest.java test was written to ensure symbolic links on Windows can be selected in JFileChooser.

During code review for JDK-8307105, which fixes the regression from JDK-8281966, I found that JFileChooser still returns null [1] for junctions [2]. On Windows, junctions are more common than symbolic links.

After JDK-8307105 is fixed, junctions can be selected in JFileChooser. The FileChooserSymLinkTest.java test should be expanded to cover this scenario too.
