>> Absolute path of Symbolic Link created in Windows is set to `null` in `BasicFileChooserUI` class. This happens when propertyChangeListener is implemented to get the Symbolic link's Absolute path on Mouse click through JFileChooser. The reason being that on click of Symbolic link, the _ValueChanged()_ in `BasicFileChooserUI` class has a logic which actually sets the  `chooser.SelectedFile()` to `null` even though the path is not null. Hence the issue is addressed by checking if its a Symbolic link and then setting the `chooser.SelectedFile()` to the value of clicked link without modifying the other logics.

Since JBS says the problem is seen when "L&F used is Nimbus "
and you made changes in BasicFileChooserUI which will affect all L&F, please confirm that it is working for all L&F in windows (Metal, Nimbus, Windows, WindowsClassic)
