Below programs illustrates the use of getCreationTime() function
Example 1: We will create a file named zip_file and get the zip file entry using getEntry() function and then get the CreationTime of the specified ZipEntry.”file.zip” is a zip file present in f: directory. we will take a “.zip” file as ZipEntry
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of getCreationTime() function import java.util.zip.*;import java.util.Enumeration;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.nio.file.attribute.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { try { // Create a Zip File ZipFile zip_file = new ZipFile("f:\\file1.zip"); // get the Zip Entry using // the getEntry() function ZipEntry entry = zip_file.getEntry("file.zip"); // Get the CreationTime // using the getCreationTime() // function FileTime input = entry.getCreationTime(); // Display the CreationTime System.out.println("CreationTime : " + input.toString()); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } }} |

Example 2: We will create a file named zip_file and get the zip file entry using getEntry() function and then get the CreationTime of the specified ZipEntry.”file.zip” is a zip file present in f: directory. we will take a “.cpp” file as ZipEntry
