Creating list of files from a directory

Question

Hi,
poked around on the internet, and wanted to be able to create an ArrayList of all files in a directory. This code compiles, but doesn't work:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestDir {
     public static void main(String[] args){
     File folder = new File("testdir");
     System.out.println("does the folder exist? " + folder.exists());
     System.out.println("is folder a directory? " + folder.isDirectory());
     System.out.println("path: " + folder.getAbsolutePath());
     // create list of files
     try{
     ArrayList<File> files = TestDir.getFileList(folder);
     Iterator i = files.iterator();
     while (i.hasNext()){
     File temp = (File) i.next();
     System.out.println("file: " + temp.getName());
     } catch (IOException e){
     System.err.println("problem creating file list:");
     e.printStackTrace();
     } // end main
     public static ArrayList<File> getFileList(File dir) throws FileNotFoundException{
     ArrayList<File> result = new ArrayList<File>();
     File[] files = dir.listFiles();
     List<File> tempfiles = Arrays.asList(files);
          for(File file : files){
          result.add(file);
     return result;
} // end classthis compiles fine, but doesn't give me the list of files.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

console output:
C:\jason\java\domPractice>java TestDir
does the folder exist? true
is folder a directory? true
path: C:\jason\java\domPractice\testdir
