extract .jpg metadata / metadata-extractor / exif / java

Question

I want to pose the date and, in particular, the time of the picture.jpg was taken. I found on the web that I can deal the issue with the (metadata-extractor) but whatever I'm trying brings no effects. Can you direct me possibly the simplest way to use this tool?

My trials were like

public class ImageMetadata{
  public static void main(String[] arg){
    Metadata metadata = null;
    try{
        FileInputStream InputStream
           = new FileInputStream(
              "X://2015//Java//renamePict//pict/IMGP0092.JPG");
        metadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata(InputStream);
    } catch(Exception Ex) {ex.printStackTrace;}
    System.out.println(metadata); // I know that perhaps I should use here some toString(). It is just try to check the compilation.
  }
}

which brings me:

 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/adobe/xmp/XMPException
