I think that's one of those platform dependent things. Not all operating systems have it, so the Java designers just left it out. MS-DOS and Windows only ever kept last modified so far as I know.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
