FileFilter is an abstract class used by JFileChooser
 for filtering the set of files shown to the user. See
 FileNameExtensionFilter for an implementation that filters using
 the file name extension.
 
 A FileFilter
 can be set on a JFileChooser to
 keep unwanted files from appearing in the directory listing.
 For an example implementation of a simple file filter, see
 yourJDK/demo/jfc/FileChooserDemo/ExampleFileFilter.java.
