What exactly do you mean by "open"?  You can open files and get a list of 
the files in a directory.  This would work the same way for a CD-ROM as 
it would for any file or directory.  Just specify a path that specifies 
the CD-ROM drive.  The classes that handle these functions are in the 
package "java.io".
