AFAIU - some OS's have no 'file creation date'
recorded - so core Java will probably not provide
'file creation date' in any form. If you need
it for a specific FileSystem, and the file system
supports it, you might need to write some native
code to retrieve it.

BTW - please put two spaces between each
sentence, and an Upper Case letter at the
start of each sentence.
