FileFilter
is an abstract class used by
JFileChooser
for filtering the set of files shown to the user. See
FileNameExtensionFilter
for an implementation that filters using
the file name extension.
A FileFilter
can be set on a JFileChooser
to
keep unwanted files from appearing in the directory listing.
For an example implementation of a simple file filter, see
yourJDK/demo/jfc/FileChooserDemo/ExampleFileFilter.java
.
For more information and examples see
How to Use File Choosers,
a section in The Java Tutorial.
