如何使用Java发现文件的创建时间？

有没有一种简单的方法来发现使用Java创建文件的创建时间？File类只有一个获取"上次修改"时间的方法.根据我在Google上找到的一些资源,File类不提供getCreationTime()方法,因为并非所有文件系统都支持创建时的想法.

唯一可行的解​​决方案是我发现involes炮轰命令行并执行"dir"命令,看起来它输出文件的创建时间.我猜这个有用,我只需要支持Windows,但它似乎很容易让我感到错误.

是否有任何第三方图书馆提供我需要的信息？

更新:最后,我不认为购买第三方库对我来说是值得的,但他们的API看起来确实不错,所以对于有这个问题的其他人来说这可能是一个不错的选择.

随着Java 7的发布,有一种内置的方法可以做到这一点:

Path path = Paths.get("path/to/file");
BasicFileAttributes attributes = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class);
FileTime creationTime = attributes.creationTime();

值得注意的是,并非所有操作系统都提供此信息.我相信在这些实例中,它返回mtime,这是最后修改的时间.

Windows确实提供了创建时间.

我前几天写了一个小测试课,希望它可以帮到你:
