title: Getting FileSystemException "A required privilege is not held by the client" using Files.createSymbolicLink in Play Framework
body: <p>I'm trying to use the new Java 7 <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files.html#createSymbolicLink%28java.nio.file.Path,%20java.nio.file.Path,%20java.nio.file.attribute.FileAttribute...%29" rel="noreferrer">Files.createSymbolicLink()</a> method within Play! Framework, and I got the following exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RuntimeException occured : java.nio.file.FileSystemException: c:\work\foo\bar:
  A required privilege is not held by the client.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my first encounter with Java's permission model, so I understand what's going on, but don't yet know how to fix it (I'd like to give the Controllers more permissions).</p>
  
  <p>If anyone can answer here faster than I'll find the answer, me (and future readers) will be grateful.</p>
