to acess disk space viewer

[khinethandarwin]

hello all!
can anybody help me .?
i want to know how can i write java program allowing a user to view the
disk space used by the folders on
disk.And i also need to show it by pie chart for saving file and
showing disk capacity.At a minimum , the program should
..· Present a GUI.
· Allow the user to select a folder on the disk
· Display a bar graph or a pie chart of the space used by the
subfolders and
files in that folder
· Ensure it is easy to "tunnel down" into large directories,
seeing their
subfolders
· Ensure the display is stable when the window is moved or resized
· Ensure the user can easily "refresh" the display if, for
example, they delete
folders and files
The name of my main class should be DiskSpaceViewer. It should not be
in a named
package.
Hints
The space occupied by a directory will need to be calculated
recursively, by adding up
the space occupied by all its files and subdirectories.
So how can i write this program.Pls any body help me.
thank you any way

This sounds a lot like an assignment. People in this group are usually
pretty strongly against doing other people's assignments for them - so it is
generally to your advantage to admit something is an assignment up front
than have people assume.

This is a problem of moderate complexity - you should have at least some
programming experience behind you. If you have a specific question then
people will be able to help you.

Also I noticed you are using google groups. Just a forward, be sure that
you reply in a manner which quotes the previous poster. (Google groups'
default reply button is broken in this regard AFAIC.)

Every requirement above is met, except for "the name of my main class
should be DiskSpaceViewer" (and I'm not sure about the package either), by
JDiskReport.

Maybe you can license the program from them to get permission to modify
the name of the main class.

Well, start by learning Java. Make a start on writing the program. Come
back here with specific questions and not just "I am lazy and will
anyone do my homework for me?"

The space occupied by a directory will need to be calculated
recursively, by adding up
the space occupied by all its files and subdirectories.

Learn Java. I imagine that's what you're supposed to be doing already.

Pls any body help me.

No, not in the way you want. Help yourself! Learn Java!
