如何用Java发现文件的创build时间？
有没有一种简单的方法来发现一个文件的Java创build时间？ File类只有一个获取“上次修改”时间的方法。 根据我在Google上发现的一些资源，File类没有提供getCreationTime（）方法，因为并不是所有的文件系统都支持创build时间。
唯一的工作解决scheme，我发现了炮弹命令行和执行“dir”命令，看起来像输出文件的创build时间。 我想这个工程，我只需要支持Windows，但似乎很容易出错。
有没有第三方库提供我需要的信息？
更新：最后，我不认为这是值得我购买第三方库，但他们的API似乎很不错，所以这可能是任何人有这个问题的一个不错的select。
随着Java 7的发布，有一个内置的方法来做到这一点：
Path path = Paths.get("path/to/file"); BasicFileAttributes attributes = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class); FileTime creationTime = attributes.creationTime(); 需要注意的是，并不是所有的操作系统都提供这些信息。 我相信在这些情况下，这将返回最后修改时间的mtime。
Windows确实提供了创build时间。
我前几天写了一个小testing课，希望能帮助你：

我一直在研究这个，但是我需要一些可以在Windows / * nix平台上运行的东西。
一个SOpost包含一些到Posix JNI实现的链接。
- JNA-POSIX
- 用于Java的POSIX
特别是，JNA-POSIX实现了获取 Windows ，BSD，Solaris，Linux和OSX实现文件统计的方法 。
总之它看起来很有希望，所以我很快就会在自己的项目上尝试一下。
import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; public class CreateDateInJava { public static void main(String args[]) { try { // get runtime environment and execute child process Runtime systemShell = Runtime.getRuntime(); BufferedReader br1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Enter filename: "); String fname = (String) br1.readLine(); Process output = systemShell.exec("cmd /c dir \"" + fname + "\" /tc"); System.out.println(output); // open reader to get output from process BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(output.getInputStream())); String out = ""; String line = null; int step = 1; while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) { if (step == 6) { out = line; } step++; } // display process output try { out = out.replaceAll(" ", ""); System.out.println("CreationDate: " + out.substring(0, 10)); System.out.println("CreationTime: " + out.substring(10, 16) + "m"); } catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException se) { System.out.println("File not found"); } } catch (IOException ioe) { System.err.println(ioe); } catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(); } } } /** D:\Foldername\Filename.Extension Ex: Enter Filename : D:\Kamal\Test.txt CreationDate: 02/14/2011 CreationTime: 12:59Pm */
javaxt-core库包含一个File类，可用于检索文件属性，包括创build时间。 例：
javaxt.io.File file = new javaxt.io.File("/temp/file.txt"); System.out.println("Created: " + file.getCreationTime()); System.out.println("Accessed: " + file.getLastAccessTime()); System.out.println("Modified: " + file.getLastModifiedTime());
适用于Java 1.5及更高版本。
我喜欢jGuru的答案，列出了使用JNI来获得答案的选项。 这可能比脱壳更快，您可能会遇到其他情况，例如需要专门针对Windows执行的情况。
另外，如果你需要移植到不同的平台上，那么你也可以移植你的库，只需要返回-1就可以在* ix上得到这个问题的答案。
这是Java一个基本示例，使用BasicFileAttributes类：
Path path = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\jorgesys\\workspaceJava\\myfile.txt"); BasicFileAttributes attr; try { attr = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class); System.out.println("File creation time: " + attr.creationTime()); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("oops un error! " + e.getMessage()); }
