Read contents of CD/DVD

[ankitmcgill]

Hi all,

Wondering how would I go about reading the contents of a cd/dvd using java.

by contents I mean the following information:
- files + folders
- file size/folder size
- disk label

any help would be much appreciated.

the File and FileSystemView class gives you info on file/folder.

What operating system are you using, because if you are using linux you can mount the drive with a system command (Process Findspace = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command)) and read the directory that you mount it to... Not sure about windows...

idealy i would prefer the app to be platform independent. so if i could somehow
detect what os the app is running on and then execute code based on that tha would be perfect ...

You can get the os by:

.String os = System.getProperty( "os.name" );
