Arduino IDE misbehaves with links (junctions) on Windows

[faxik]

I develop a large project that is split into libraries. I used to make links (junctions) from development directories to the Arduino Libraries directory. That allows for quick edit-and-test cycles, as the changes are in effect immediately. This worked good in 1.x; this semi-worked in 1.6.5 and seems to be completely broken in 1.6.6 (maybe, somehow related to Java 8 or new library discovery): IDE just doesn't "see" the linked libraries.

Furthermore, uninstaller deletes not the links, but traverses and deletes all the files which can be very disasterous.

Leaving here for the discussion about the uninstaller.
Moving to https://github.com/arduino/arduino-builder for junctions not traversed bug

@facchinm, Note that this is a duplicate of arduino/arduino-builder#90

Right, closing arduino/arduino-builder#98 as duplicate 😄

Completely moved to arduino/arduino-builder#90, closing this one
