title: How to get date picture created in java
body: <p>I would like to extract the date a jpg file was created.  Java has the lastModified method for the File object, but appears to provide no support for extracting the created date from the file.  I believe the information is stored within the file as the date I see when I hover the mouse pointer over the file in Win XP is different than what I can get by using JNI with "dir /TC" on the file in DOS.</p>
