Traverse/mount an ISO image in Java ?

[Spendius]

Hello,
Did anybody ever write a program that would allow you to
look at the contents of an ISO image file ? (or even to
mount it)

Thanks.

The OS itself needs to mount it, so something based on Runtime.exec()
seems appropriate, e.g (OS specific command):

String cmd = "mount -o loop " + isofile + " " + mountpoint;
Runtime.getRuntime.exec(cmd);

Once mounted, there is no difference between this and any "regular"
filesystem, so traversal is done with java.io.File and friends in the
usual manner.

Requires to write a lot of code to implement the CD yellowbook
specification.

(or even to
mount it)

Requires support from the OS, can't be done in Java alone.
