Hi Mark,
If you don't mind using a JNI library, you may want to do a call to the
Carbon API "FSIsAliasFile".
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/Alias_Manager/alia
s_manager/chapter_1.2_section_6.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000146-DontLink
ChapterID_2-F16390
I have implemented such a call in class
ch.randelshofer.quaqua.filechooser.Files, which is part of the Quaqua Look
and Feel.
Here's the JavaDoc:
http://www.randelshofer.ch/quaqua/javadoc/ch/randelshofer/quaqua/filechooser
/Files.html
The Java class and the JNI code (in C) are open source (LGPL or Modified BSD
license).
You can download the from
