What do you mean by from images? Is the image a screen shot of say a clock and you are trying to get out that information?

what i want exactly is to extract the metadata from the images/photos (from digicam and such), more specifically the time and date of capture. just want to know if there is such function in java.

There is always File.lastModified, which you can combine with java.util.Date and/or java.util.Calendar.

I think what you're looking for is how to read EXIF data - I did a google for the words "exif Java" and found several sites - this appears to be one of many existing projects to read this information.
