[edit] actually, it opened AND saved files. This post has been edited by GWatt: 16 Feb, 2008 - 01:15 PM

Anyway, I inherited from JFileChooser in the javax.swing package. If you have java 6 you can use FileNameExtensionFilter in conjunction with JFileChooser. IF you have java 5 or previous, just write your own name filter. It's pretty easy, and small. I'd post my code, except for the site policy. Sorry if that seems over cautious.
