Answer 1

This is a basic example in Java, using BasicFileAttributes class:

   Path path = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\jorgesys\\workspaceJava\\myfile.txt");
    BasicFileAttributes attr;
    try {
      attr = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class);
      System.out.println("File creation time: " + attr.creationTime());
    } catch (IOException e) {
      System.out.println("oops un error! " + e.getMessage());
    }
