EDIT: seems to work now... do you see any issues that I might not?
EDIT: Changed package and file name.
EDIT: Seems to run into a issue.
Optional, I can figure error handeling out later. How can I capture this error and display something useful... like line the problem is on?
I just need to know why right now, is it something I am forgetting?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Sorry I keep bugging you, you are helping me alot here. I keep playing as I can which is why you see the EDITs to keep current steps. I change the code to be the latest and error to follow just to make sure you understand. I am decent at understanding code I just lack overall knowlege and expierence I guess. Once I am done with this thing I will buy a book and try to learn more on my own. In the mean time thanks for the help. I have stayed true to my original request and just trying to get the final result. If you see me break any coding rules please let me know so I learn that part as well, I want others to be able to read it. You Rock!

Code:

package listIt;

import java.io.File;
import java.util.Date;

public class ListIt 
{
	public ListIt(String folder)
	{
		File File = new File(folder);
		this.getList(File);
	}
	
	private void getList(File folder) 
	{
		File[] list1 = folder.listFiles();
		for (int i = 0; i < list1.length; i++)
		{ 
			long modTime = list1[i].lastModified();
			Date d = new Date(modTime);
			if (list1[i].isDirectory())
			{
				ListIt list2 = new ListIt(list1[i].toString());
				System.out.println(list1[i] + "\\\t" + d.toString());
			}
			else
				System.out.println(list1[i].toString() + "\t" + d.toString());
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		//ListIt myListIt = new ListIt("C:\\Documents and Settings\\"); 
		ListIt myListIt = new ListIt("C:\\");
	}
}
