I'm copying a File with java - of course, the resource fork gets lost

The "ditto" command-line-tool does exactly what I want: ditto --rsrc
copies with resource.
Question: is there some ObjC or C function somewhere that I could use
for this, e.g. access via JNI?
You could use e.g. NSTask to run ditto as an external tool.
Alternatively, take a look at
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FSCopyObject/
FSCopyObject.html>. This is some C code that implements HFS+ savvy
object copying. Not sure how easy this is to integrate with java,
though...
In an off-list discussion with Rémy I suggested looking at the source
code for cp from Darwin 8.0 as it understands resource forks -
mentioned on-list as well as it's relevant :-)
