A good Java class

Author Name Status Posted Time Reknine Bellsoth 3/8/2009 10:32:55 PM Author is Offline Hi all, Anybody know a good Java class for file/directory manipulation. I'm using the "File" and "RandomAccessFile" classes in the SDK, but I want to get a bit fancier. Right now, just getting the size of a directory (sum of size of all files) is proving elusive. I can get the sizes of induvidual files and do it myself with no heartaches if I wanted, but I didn't want to reinvent the wheel if there is already something to do stuff like that (especially if it is the standard JDK). I'm not "super" familiar with Java and/or the JDK, so I don't know all the little ins and outs of every class. Might be one already available that I don't know about. Also looking to do things like determine a file's "real" size versus "size allocated" and stuff like that. Any pointers to good classes are helpful. Thank you

You might wan t to look through the API specs that Sun put out. It contains all the classes and functions inc luded with Java.

I found some info in File and RandomAccessFile, but still not enough. Looking for a class with more if possible. If not, I'll just write it myself (and then find it a week later in some obsuce class's API probably).

Still up working on it now (should have never had that coffee at 7pm). Wasn' t too hard, just seems there ought to be support for it already somewhere. I feel stupid writin g classes to do things, then to find out they are already part of the API, I just didn't kn ow where.
