Answer 1

String[] fileList = file.list();http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html
see file chooser
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html
//This example lists the files and subdirectories in a directory. To list all descendant files and subdirectories under a directory,
File dir = new File("directoryName");
    String[] children = dir.list();
    if (children == null) {
        // Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
    } else {
        for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
            // Get filename of file or directory
            String filename = children;
// It is also possible to filter the list of returned files.
// This example does not return any files that start with `.'.
FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
return !name.startsWith(".");
children = dir.list(filter);
// The list of files can also be retrieved as File objects
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
// This filter only returns directories
FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() {
public boolean accept(File file) {
return file.isDirectory();
files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
