Hi is there a way of getting a file creation Date for a file class object?
I am trying to do so on a mac.
Many thanks

well...
since there are certain OS' that do not "remember" the creation date of a file, I doubht Java has a standard sollution for this.
At least not one I've come accross to

No, at least not when using the standard library because in *nix, the creation time isn't stored anywhere. If you are running on a windows box, you have two options:
- spawn a shell process which fires the command 'dir /a' and extract the creation time [easiest]
- Use JNI, maybe something like FileTimes library
- spawn a shell process which fires the command 'dir /a' and extract the creation time [easiest]
- Use JNI, maybe something like FileTimes library

Many thanks for the replies.
I have tried this
it then throws a : "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
Is there any other means to do so on the mac or am I doing this wrong?
Many thanks again.
