Setting the file creation timestamp in Java

I know that setting the creation timestamp does not exist in Java because Linux does not, but is there any way to set the file (Windows) creation timestamp in Java? Here I made a basic modification to the timestamp editor

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class chdt{
    static File file;
    static JFrame frame = new JFrame("Input a file to change");
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try{

            final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
            fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);

            //BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(system.in));
            //System.out.println("Enter file name with extension:");
            //String str = bf.readLine();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Input a file to change.");
            frame.setSize(300,200);

            frame.setVisible(true);

            int retVal = fc.showOpenDialog(frame);
            if (retVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                file = fc.getSelectedFile();
                frame.setVisible(false);
            } else {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"3RR0RZ!  You didn't input a file.");
                System.exit(0);
            }

            //System.out.println("Enter last modified date in 'dd-mm-yyyy-hh-mm-ss' format:");
            //String strDate = bf.readLine();
            String strDate = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter last modified date in 'dd-mm-yyyy-hh-mm-ss' format:");

            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm-ss");
            Date date = sdf.parse(strDate);

            if (file.exists()){
                file.setLastModified(date.getTime());
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Modification is successful!");
            }
            else{
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File does not exist!  Did you accidentally it or what?");
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"3RR0RZ");
        }
    }
}

Solution

I believe you have the following options:

Find a tool that can be called from the command line Then you can interact with it from your Java code. > The following links in MSDN file times show how any tool works – pay special attention to the functions GetFileTime and setfiletime

I guess you'll be lucky here:) search for these features on Google and I found a post here This answer (not acceptable) to how to discover a file's creation time with Java seems to do what you want to use JNA and the above methods If so, please ask this answer again:)

Please don't mind the title. It has a way to set the creation time I hope you'll try to make it work
