Trial Version of Software ???

How might I create a trial version of some software in Java?  I have a Java
app that I'd like to allow a 30 day evaluation period for.  This isn't hard
to do in the Windows world (simply stuffing  a file with a date in the
\system directory or in the registry or ....) but I have no idea how this
might be done in the Java world -- espeically in a cross platform manner.

Any ideas  would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

-Art
