How can I copy a file with all attributes

Question

Is there a way within Java to copy a file, with all its file attributes?
I have seen a number of custom methods posted on these forums for copying the contents of a file to a new file with the same name in another location. The problem is that these methods don't copy the file attributes, particularly the creation date.
If there is no way to do this in Java, is there a way to have Java execute an operating system command, such as "COPY" or to access the O/S to change the file attributes?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

This is how runtime executes a batch file.
try {
  Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start c:\\batfile.bat");
  p.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.toString());
}
