I want something like DOS "dir" or Linux "ls" to retrieve the contents of one directory.

Is this possible with Java's API?

If you'd looked at the API documentation you'd have had no trouble
finding this:

That is not true. Java hides the directory manipulating functions in
the File class, not exactly where any sane person would expect to find
them.
