[kaffe][gump] java.io.File's delete does not remove links

[Davanum Srinivas]

Team, 

This problem is killing ant's bootstrap.sh stuff. Works fine on JDK1.4.

Step #1: Set up the link as follows:
mkdir /tmp/ant
ln -s /tmp/ant /tmp/ThisIsALink

Step #2: Compile the following java source file:
==============================================================================================
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
public class test {
        public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
                File linkFile = new File("/tmp", "ThisIsALink");
                System.out.println(linkFile.getCanonicalPath());
                if (!linkFile.delete()) {
                        throw new RuntimeException("Failed to delete " + linkFile);
                }
        }
}
==============================================================================================

Step #3: run it and see the following exception:
/tmp/ThisIsALink
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to delete /tmp/ThisIsALink
   at test.main (test.java:9)

Thanks,
dims
