How to get the creation date of a file in Java, using BasicFileAttributes class, this is an example:

   Path path = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\jorgesys\\workspaceJava\\myfile.txt");
    BasicFileAttributes attr;
    try {
    attr = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class);

    System.out.println("Creation date: " + attr.creationTime());

    } catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println("oops error! " + e.getMessage());
    }
