[JIRA] (JENKINS-15466) Fatal Error No Class Definition found for Kernel32

[pjdar...@java.net (JIRA)]

pjdarton commented on JENKINS-15466 Fatal Error No Class Definition found for Kernel32 Note: I've just encountered (and logged) JENKINS-16070, which also relates to this isJunctionOrSymlink(...) method. I'm now of the opinion that no call to jna can be trusted, hence any feature that uses native calls either needs to go to extreme lengths to ensure that it has excellent error trapping (and deadlock prevention), or needs a facility to disable its use. I would therefore suggest that this windows-specific isJunctionOrSymlink behavior be made configurable - from my point of view, the trouble it's causing outweighs the benefits (the Jenkins code all looks fine, it's just the code it calls that's not reliable).
