Given a directory with this content
10/01/2025 04:37 PM <DIR> dir
10/01/2025 04:41 PM <SYMLINKD> dirlink [dir]
10/01/2025 04:41 PM <JUNCTION> junction [C:\Users\bpb\dev\bugs\dir]
10/01/2025 04:41 PM <SYMLINK> symlink [dir]
the File.list() method returns the contents of "dir" for the paths "dir", "dirlink", and "junction", but returns null for "symlink". The class level specification of File states
"[...] operations on files that are symbolic links are automatically redirected to the target of the link."
so either list[Files] needs to be changed to return the same a non-null array with the same contents for"symlink", or it needs to return null for all the above cases with an update to the method specifications to so indicate.
