How to select multiple files using java.awt.FileDialog

I’m writing a small java program that takes a file as input, reads the data, and prints the desire output to a file. I created a small JPanel where you can select the input and output files. I used FileDialog
to select the input file. The program works great, but I want to know if I can have the ability to select few files in the FileDialog and it will return an array of files. because sometimes the input will be split between few files.

Please give me any ideas you have.

Thanks

You can use setMultiSelectionEnabled(true); on your FileDialog, but only if you are using JDK7.

For older JDK versions the alternative is to use setMultiSelectionEnabled(boolean b) on a javax.swing.JFileChooser
