There are times when a developer needs to change the last modified time for a file or folder. This Java programming tutorial will show you how to complete this task. Here is a simple code example showing how to change the most recently changed property of files and folders in Java:
* / import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.attribute.FileTime; import java.io. *; public class UpdateLastModifiedTime {public static void main (String args[]) {UpdateLastModifiedTime updateLastModifiedTime = new UpdateLastModifiedTime (); updateLastModifiedTime.proceed (); } private void continue () {try {path currDir = Paths.get (“.”); // Current directory FileTime now = FileTime.fromMillis (System.currentTimeMillis ()); Files.setLastModifiedTime (currDir, now); System.out.println (“The last modification time was updated for” + currDir); } catch (IOException ioe) {System.out.println (“Exception:” + ioe); }}} / *
Running this snippet of code results in the following output:
[[email protected]]# java UpdateLastModifiedTime Updates the last modification time for.
