File Explorer using Java - how to go about it?
- by user299988
Hi,
I am set to create a file explorer using Java. The aim is to emulate the behavior of the default explorer as closely as possible, whatever may be the underlying OS.
I have done NO GUI programming in Java.
I have looked-up Swing, SWT and JFace, and I am beginning my project with this tutorial:

I would like to know your opinions about the best approach to tackle this problem. If you could comment on complexity of coding, portability and OS-independence, and efficiency, it would be great.
Is there anything else I should know? Do some other ways exist?
Thanks a lot!
