To enable multiple selections in a JFileChooser dialog, use the setMultiSelectionEnabled() to be TRUE −JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser(); file.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);The following is an example to enable multiple selections in a JFileChooser Dialog −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser();       file.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);       file.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);       file.setFileHidingEnabled(false);       if (file.showOpenDialog(null) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {          java.io.File f = file.getSelectedFile();          System.err.println(f.getPath());       }    } }Output

The result FALSE for is FileHidingEnabled() means the hidden files are displayed in the FileChooser. The following will display FALSE since file isn’t hidden −JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser(); file.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false); file.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES); file.setFileHidingEnabled(false); boolean res = file.isFileHidingEnabled();Above, at first, we have displayed the file by setting hidden to be FALSE −file.setFileHidingEnabled(false);The following is an example −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser();       file.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);       file.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);       file.setFileHidingEnabled(false);       boolean res = file.isFileHidingEnabled();       System.out.println("File are ...
