You can do it with Jarapac/JCIFS/MIDLC but it's all very round-about, it's
not packaged nicely, and lacks a user-friendly API. You really have to
know about MSRPC, IDL, named pipes, endpoints, etc (although the examples
are pretty easy to run).

JCIFS 1.0 is all about files and directories. JCIFS 2.0 will be all about
integrating Java subject based security with MS Windows and Kerberos.
Things like resolving SIDs will be trivial (you won't even realize you're
doing it).
