Hi guys,

I have a question about the JFileChooser in Swing. I'm trying to get multiple file extensions in the drop-down box, but have no idea how to do it.

There is the method

extFilter = FileNameExtensionFilter(description, extensions);

that I can then use by writing

fileChooser.setFileFilter(extFilter);

however, as you can see, this only supports one option in the drop-down list. How do I add more?
