Lastmodified date

Question

public void choosefile() {
          JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
          int result = fc.showOpenDialog(null);     
          if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Operation cancelled");
          else {
               File filename = fc.getSelectedFile();
               String s = "Name: " + filename.getName() + "\n" +
               "Path: " + filename.getPath() + "\n" +
               "Parent:" + filename.getParent() + "\n" +
               "Length:" + filename.length() + "\n" +
               "Can Read: " + filename.canRead()     + "\n" +
               "Can Write: " + filename.canWrite() + "\n" +
               "Last Modified: " + filename.lastModified();
               txtArea.setText(s);

Name: xuweiliangvictor.jpg
Path: D:\xuweiliangvictor.jpg
Parent:D:\

As the API states, lastModified returns:
<quote>
A long value representing the time the file was last modified, measured in milliseconds since the epoch (00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970), or 0L if the file does not exist or if an I/O error occurs.

Construct a java.util.Date out of that and format the date and time as you like using a java.text.SimpleDateFormat. See the API for details.
