file attributes question?

...... I'm playing around with a simple backup program and I am wondering is there anything in Java that allows you to reset a files archive attribute?

I would like to reset this attribute on all files after I have completed a "full backup".

It seems that the only thing I can use is a files last modified timestamp as a reference.

Hope someone can give me some guidance on this topic.

Cheers

file attributes are operating system specific, Java is not so Java can't know about them.

.... does this mean that I can only use a files last modified timestamp as a reference to when a file has been changed?Cheers
