Something like this?:

--- a/test/jdk/java/nio/file/Files/SymlinkTime.java
+++ b/test/jdk/java/nio/file/Files/SymlinkTime.java
@@ -41,6 +41,12 @@
 public class SymlinkTime {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
         Path dir = TestUtil.createTemporaryDirectory();
+        if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows") &&
+            !TestUtil.supportsLinks(dir)) {
+            System.out.println("Windows: links not supported - skipping test");
+            return;
+        }
+
         try {
             // Create file and symbolic link to it
             final Path file = dir.resolve("file");

Thanks,

Brian
