javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView

public abstract class FileSystemView
extends Object

FileSystemView is JFileChooser's gateway to the file system. Since the JDK1.1 File API doesn't allow access to such information as root partitions, file type information, or hidden file bits, this class is designed to intuit as much OS-specific file system information as possible.

Java Licensees may want to provide a different implementation of FileSystemView to better handle a given operating system.
