Provide API to obtain volume label and serial number

A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
There is no way to get any volume information.

JUSTIFICATION :
Supposing you'd like to write program which use data from pendrives, cdroms, etc., there is no way to distinguish volumes. You can't get volume serial number, or name. You also can't get type of any volume.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I'd like to see a class which can enumerate available volumes, tell something about their type (cdrom, etc.) and return information about every volume (label, serial). There also should be some control of who can get this information (applets should know nothing about my computer, unless i allow them).

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The only method is to use JNI.
