I have an app that needs to allow a user to select a directory to save a
file in. Basically I need a file browser GUI. Does Java/SWT have such an
object ?

Thanks

Is filechooser a swing object ? I am using SWT. Does that matter ?

There is a file browser for SWT called FileDialog. Its in
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog

My apologies: I read your request too hastily. FileChooser
is indeed a Swing class; I have no idea what equivalent SWT may
have.

Sounds plausible. Was the documentation encouraging?

Yep, the documentation was encouraging and it flat out works. I've since
written and tested it.

Thanks for your help.
