Managing directories with java

[bayan]

I want to create a file explorer window for the "open" option for the file menu in java. Well I know most of it but I don't know how to actually manage a directory programmatically through java.

What I need to know to finish it is:

What is the directory object for java(Like the File object for files)? If it doesnt work like that how do you access a directory?

I guess I can figure out the rest from javadoc but just in case

How do you return the contents of a directory?

Thats it for now, any help very much appreciated.

A directory in the file system is a java.io.File object. Read the File API docs, especially the isDirectory() and listFiles methods.
