Class Overview

A convenience implementation of FileFilter that filters out all files except for those type extensions that it knows about.

Example - create a new filter that filerts out all files but gif and jpg image files: JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(); ExampleFileFilter filter = new ExampleFileFilter( new String{"gif", "jpg"}, "JPEG & GIF Images") chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter); chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
