I want to limit my users to a directory and its sub directories but the "Parent Directory" button allows them to browse to an arbitraty directory.
How should I go about doing that?

Incase anyone else needs this in the future:
class DirectoryRestrictedFileSystemView extends FileSystemView
{
private final File[] rootDirectories;
DirectoryRestrictedFileSystemView(File rootDirectory)
{
this.rootDirectories = new File[] {rootDirectory};
}
DirectoryRestrictedFileSystemView(File[] rootDirectories)
{
this.rootDirectories = rootDirectories;
}
@Override
public File createNewFolder(File containingDir) throws IOException
{
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unable to create directory");
}
@Override
public File[] getRoots()
{
return rootDirectories;
}
@Override
public boolean isRoot(File file)
{
for (File root : rootDirectories) {
if (root.equals(file)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
You'll obviously need to make a better "createNewFolder" method, but this does restrict the user to one of more directories.
And use it like this:
FileSystemView fsv = new DirectoryRestrictedFileSystemView(new File("X:\\"));
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser(fsv);
or like this:
FileSystemView fsv = new DirectoryRestrictedFileSystemView( new File[] {
new File("X:\\"),
new File("Y:\\")
});
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser(fsv);
