JFileChooser question

I would like to customize the JFileChooser so that when a user opens a file
there is an extra option on the JFileChooser dialog (an extra tickbox). I
am writing a bit analyser so when the user opens a new file (containing the
bits) there should be an option for "packed bits/unpacked bits", depending
on how the bits are stored in the files.

So, is it possible to extend the JFileChooser class and incorporate this
extra option? Any help appreciated.

You don't extend JFileChooser. Instead add your additional options to a
JComponent and use JFileChooser.setAccessory.
