I want to use Ant for developing on multiple platforms: Mac, Windows and UN*X.
How does Ant solve cross platform issues, e.g. with the Mac resources?
In my opinion, special task version are needed that care about Mac
resource forks, first of all <copyfile>
Who knows how to deal with it?
Greg Guerin has written some Mac-specific code that copies entire
files. Some of this code is at:

Alternatively, I've written code that provides access to AppleScript,
which can be used to script the Mac OS Finder to perform file
copying, which might turn out to be better since the Finder knows how
to correctly copy files between network volumes, and recursive file
copies. Perhaps an AppleScript module for the Bean Scripting
Framework would be useful.
