FileFilters in Java

Is there anyway to set what files are filtered in a JFileChooser dialog box
in java? I've got a line that goes:

fileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);

but I need to know really how to extend the FileFilter class to make it useful!
I want to be able to just display *.JPW files and set the name of this filter
to Java Person Files(s), so if anyone can help, please mail me ;-).

want to play frogger or Pontoon and tell me what you think.

Hi

class MyFiles implements FileFilter
{
public boolean accept(File f)
{
if(f.getName().endsWith(".jpw"))
return true;
return false;
}
public String getDescription()
{
return "Your Files (*.jpw)";
}

}

Now set this instance as filefilter for filechooser
