How can I copy/move entire subtrees using Java?

I'd like to be able to copy or move entire subtrees using the Java API. In other words, is there an API analogous to the bash commands mv and cp -R?

I general -- a Move in AEM is a very expensive operation as any number of references and things need to be adjusted post move. Just be cognizant of that. If you're moving a lot of subtrees you may see some resource contention within the JCR.

 

This article is a bit dated but conveys what you can do with the API
