In my Java application I am using JFileChooser for choosing files from directory. I would like to select multiple files with dragging mouse over them. By default it's not working, but I enabled multiple selection. I don't know how to do it.
Is there any other way to do it or any other API? Any help will be gladly appreciated.
After searching a lot I found an API namely ,
Native Swing "The DJ Project"
In this API ,there is a class "JFileDialog" this is what i was looking for.This filedialog allows multiple selection with mouse drag and also better than Jfilechooser in the point of look and feel.But before Using this API one must have to add DJNativeSwing.jar , DJNativeSwing-SWT.jar , swt-4.3-win32-win32-x86.jar library to the project build path and also the project should be Run with 32-bit JRE .
see this snippet of code as example from this link : https://dzone.com/articles/native-dialogs-swing-little
I'm an Italian student with the passion of programming and I'm creating an application that asks the user to insert a password when opening a precedently specified file or folder. My problem is how to detect when the user opens the file/folder using an event, if possible. Can you help me please?
You can make use of Java WatchService Api and register all the events that you want to listen to. Here is the official tutorial from Oracle : link
I have a button and when I click the button on the website, my Java application which I save it as an executable jar file will pop up. How should I do it? Is it possible to just use a href command or onClick command? But it doesn't seem right. Or do I need to play around with the server, as in this case I use Wamp as my server.
Hoping to get some suggestions from the team. Thanks!
Java already has a technology for doing this and is called java webstart.
This is what you are looking for : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/webstart/
See an example here :-

I am working on javafx 2. but there is no feature of multiple folders and files available on the filechooser.
There is the Directory chooser but it selects only one folder. How can i solve this problem. Please give me any suggestion?
JavaFX supports single and multiple file dialogs:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/stage/FileChooser.html
and single directory dialog:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/stage/DirectoryChooser.html
There was a special RFE for this : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8101526.
There is a special RFE for multiple directories chosign, you can wait, until it will be fixed : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091403, also, you can vote it up, for it to be fixed with higher priority
We can use JFileChooer of Swing component. But then its give error like Headless something. So remove this error by following steps.
1) Initialised all component of swing before javafx.
2) use System.setProperty and set Headless false .
Then jfilechooser works. Thanks to all.

shortcut library
"JShortcut is a JNI library to allow Java programs to create shortcuts
and menu items on Windows"
Here is an explanation of the LNK-File-Format
http://www.stdlib.com/art6-Shortcut-File-Format-lnk.html
Java Web Start can arrange shortcuts (or menu items) for any platform that supports them. These can be specified in the JNLP file, or installed programmatically using the IntegrationService.
