Alternative to JFileChooser

Question

I\'ve a request to make some changes to a little applet that currently use a JFileChooser.
One of the main complaints is that the file chooser is a pain in the ass to us

Answer 1

I wrote a wrapper around JavaFX' file chooser if available. If included in your application, you can replace

JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();

with

JFileChooser fileChooser = new NativeJFileChooser();

It will then use the native (and modern) file chooser of the underlying platform. Not everything works 100% the same, so make sure to test it afterwards, but most things should go smoothly.
