I've created:
  6857287: (file) Clarifications for symbolic link related javadoc

You might as well push this directly to jdk7/tl/jdk. The repository is 
open for b68.

In the previous mail, I did suggest pushing to nio/nio/jdk but I didn't 
explain that the change-sets pushed to that repository don't flow to 
jdk7/tl. Instead, I've been letting any fixes accumulate and bake before 
pushing them to jdk7/tl in batch (with a bugID, new changeset, etc.). In 
time the nio/nio forest will go away.

The webrev is fine, and arguably easier, esp. for cases where you've 
made the lines fit better into 80 columns (impossible to see that with 
blenderrev).

- All the s/symbolic-link/symbolic link/ replacements look good to me.

- The s/link/symbolic link/ replacements are okay. The style I had been 
using in these lengthy paragraphs was to use "symbolic link" in the 
first usage, and "link" in second and subsequent usage. Changing it to 
symbolic link everywhere is more consistent.

- Other misc. typos look okay.

Thanks for doing this.

-Alan.
