Java 1.6 file class get the free space of the disk

[Arkie]

Java 1.6 introduced the getFreeSpace() method that shows the remaining disk space in bytes. For those that want to know how to get the unallocated  disk space I've written a demo here (sourcecode included)
http://www.engineeringser...8/17/java-free-diskspace/

getFreeSpace()
Returns the number of unallocated bytes in the partition named by this abstract path name.

Output:

It is platform independent ? Like i could use it in Linux, Mac or somewhere else?

Yes it should work because i haven't made any platform specific calls. The methods that i use are all available in the JRE/SDK 1.6
