You are probable going to have to use Carbon for that, Carbon has four methods PBDTGetCommentSync, PBDTGetIconAsync, PBDTSetCommentSync and PBDTAddIconAsync. Good luck, there is a steep learning curve with Carbon as there is with Cocoa, and it's a real pain having to pick your way through the mountains of info when you want to do something simple. Alternatively you might be able to find some command line tool that will return the comments for you, I briefly looked at GetFileInfo but only seems to return file type/creator, creation/modification date and some attribute flags.

I am trying to figure out how I can get a string out of the comments text view in Finder's Show Info Window. I would also like to be able edit the string and then put it back. Anyone know how I can do this preferably using Java?
