In an off-list discussion with Rémy I suggested looking at the source

I haven't looked, but I suspect that cp is using the (slightly odd) fact that the resource fork is exposed as an EA in Darwin 8.0 (or at least a special case of one). This won't work on pre-Tiger.


Does that mean that the resource fork could be inspected/modified using the *xattr() family in C, and that this might be what the OP is looking for via a bit of JNI magic if they don't mind targetting >10.4 only? :-D
