Please be specific. Exactly what argument was passed to setLastModifed(),
and what was the file's lastModified() value when that happened? Where was
the file (local or networked)? What disk format? And as usual, which OS
and Java version?
The actual "resolution" (precision, granularity) of a timestamp is
file-system dependent. HFS and HFS+ store 1-sec resolution. I think UFS
does, too. Other file-system formats may have better resolution, or worse.
For example, I think FAT (DOS) has 2-sec resolution (FAT is often used on
flash-drives, camera cards, etc.).
So although the File methods work in millisecs, the actual resolution may
be much coarser.
