Reading file info
Dec 22nd, 2008, 6:28pm  
Hi,

I'm trying to make a program that reads info from a file on the hard drive.

For example in windows you can get file info from a file, like the size, the owner, the date the file was created, etc

I already have the code to get the name of the file but I'm stuck on the other parts.

Is there a method to get file information?

Regards Maarten.

The File class offers already a number of features.
Other things, like owner or attributes, are system dependent.

...
After a quick googling, I found Getting the file owner in Java using JNI, which confirms one much call system functions to get this information.
I found that a nio class might get this information... in Java 7!
