Reading Windows file summary properties (title, subject, author) in Java

That information is stored in an NTFS Alternate Data Stream named “♣SummaryInformation” – not sure if Java supports teh reading of ADS data via the colon notation.

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("test.txt:\u2663SummaryInformation");

You’ll have to figure out the format yourself.
