File Deduplicator (java, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this java project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: File Deduplicator

Write a program that finds and manages duplicate files across directories using content-based hashing, supporting multiple deduplication strategies and detailed reporting.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept one or more directory paths as command-line arguments
- Find duplicate files by comparing SHA-256 content hashes, using a two-phase approach: first compare file sizes to narrow candidates, then hash only size-matched files
- Support configurable minimum file size via --min-size flag (default: 1 byte) to skip tiny files
- Support file type filtering via --include and --exclude flags with glob patterns
- Group duplicates into sets showing all copies with their full paths, sizes, and modification dates
- Support multiple deduplication actions via --action flag: report (default, just list duplicates), delete (remove duplicates keeping the oldest/newest based on --keep flag), hardlink (replace duplicates with hard links to save space), symlink (replace with symbolic links)
- Support a --dry-run flag to preview what would be done without actually modifying files
- Scan directories recursively by default, with --no-recursive flag to disable
- Display a progress bar during scanning showing files processed and duplicates found so far
- Print summary to console: total files scanned, total unique files, duplicate sets found, total wasted space, space that would be recovered
- Save the full deduplication report as JSON with --output flag (default: dedup_report.json)
- If no directories are given, create a sample directory with intentional duplicates (exact copies, files with same content but different names, and unique files), run deduplication analysis, and display the results
- Handle errors: permission denied, broken symlinks, files modified during scan, and cross-filesystem hard links

Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# File Deduplicator (Java)

A tool for finding duplicate files based on content hashing using SHA-256.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure JDK 17+ and Maven are installed.
2. Build the project:
   ```bash
   mvn clean package
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Scan Directory**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/file-deduplicator-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ./my_folder
  ```
