(239/239) 3942 - Changes to mode files are not detected when ~/.jedit/modes is a symlink

I have a lot of customized mode files which I tweak often, so I moved the ~/.jedit/modes directory into my Dropbox folder and replaced it by a symlink. But now when I edit one of the mode files, the syntax highlighting does not change in the corresponding source files that I have open in jEdit. I need to restart jEdit in order to see the new syntax highlighting that I just added.

I'm guessing this is a pretty simple bug involving the (non-)use of realpath when detecting if the mode file has changed.
