Thinking further, we could actually implement a limited version of os.fstat in pure java. On java 6, we could support size and modification time, through the use of java.io.File. Which is better than nothing, but would not address the requesters issue of dealing with symbolic links. On java 7, we could implement almost everything, using the new java java.nio.file.Files class, which has extensive facilities, including symbolic link handling, file permissions, etc. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/index.html?java/nio/file/Files.html Thoughts?
