Class PEFileChooser

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, javax.accessibility.Accessible

    public class PEFileChooser
    extends javax.swing.JFileChooser
    A factory than produces and caches frequently accessed JFileChooser's.

    JFileChooser's get instanciated on first call, and are then cached for better efficiency. As a side-effect, the last accessed directory is kept in memory, unless a call to configure(Properties) is made, which reinit the file chooser's.

        Opens (and possibly inits on first call) a JFileChooser, the type of which is specified by one of the hereabove constants. If this is the first time a particular file chooser is accessed, it's created using, either the default settings, or the settings set by the last call to configure(Properties).
        Parameters:
        contentType - allows to set the current file filter
        Returns:
        the selected file ; null if a cancel action occured at any time.
