Windows ln style softlinks with mklink

You can use softlinks (linux: ln -s source target) under windows.

MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target

        /D      Creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file
                symbolic link.
        /H      Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
        /J      Creates a Directory Junction.
        Link    Specifies the new symbolic link name.
        Target  Specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
                refers to.

The example mklink /D jdk11 jdk-11.0.7.10-hotspot will create a softlink with name jdk11 to folder jdk-11.0.7.10-hotspot in the same directory.
