NativeJFileChooser

This is a drop-in replacement for Swing's file chooser. Instead of displaying the Swing file chooser, it makes use of the JavaFX file chooser if available. It still uses Swing's file chooser as a fallback.

Usage

NativeJFileChooser is available via Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>li.flor</groupId>
    <artifactId>native-j-file-chooser</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.4</version>
</dependency>

Simply replace

JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();

with

JFileChooser fileChooser = new NativeJFileChooser();

Example

EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
    JButton button = new JButton("Click me!");
    JFileChooser fileChooser = new NativeJFileChooser();
    fileChooser.setFileFilter(new FileNameExtensionFilter("JPG", "*.jpg"));
    button.addActionListener((ActionEvent e) -> {
        fileChooser.showDialog(frame, "Open");
    });
    frame.add(button);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
});
