creating system links (dvs file/dir in Unix)

Via the java.io.File package one can perform the basic array of file/diretory processing (ie. to create a directory or file, etc). However, I have not seen a way to create a link between to files or directories (ie. in Unix "ln -s <source> <target>". Anybody got any tips?

Also, I find it hard to locate premade Java packages for doing system level file/directory operations. Does anybody know of a good site with references?

Java doesn't have any platform-specific facilities, so to link files/directories you'll need to call out to the relevant OS.

Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment...
