How to set L&F on JFileChooser?
[254 byte] By [Fluida] at [2007-11-27 4:35:56] 
My JFileChooser is serialized, and upon deserialization I wish for it to have the current L&F. How do I set the L&F of a JFileChooser? Any method I suspect, like setUI takes a JComponent, not a LookAndFeel object.RegardsFluid
Remind me why you are serializing a JFileChooser. Are you doing that to your whole GUI?

Remind you? I have not told you. Do you know how to set the Look and Feel of a JFileChooser?

Okay. Don't remind us. Tell us.

I see... I serialize an object to preserve its state in persistent memory. It does little overhead, and occupies 4kb of non-expensive harddisk space. I guess there are other reasons for this since you need to ask.
Your assumption that I serialize all my GUI is coming from..where?
Who are "us"?
In your favor I will assume you are desperately trying to teach me some do's and dont's when it comes to serialization, in a smart-***, rhetoric fashion, but so far you have not managed to get to your point, nor give any hints whatsoever if you are able to answer MY questions.

Remind me what you have managed to do. No wait, you already have.

I really appreciate your attempt to help Hippolyte, but the bottom line is that you cannot help? You are just socializing? :)

Serializing a JFileChooser seem like a bad design move, to me and Jocelyn, at least. Why not just serialize the current directory and selected file(s). Is there really more one needs to store?
Hippolytea at 2007-7-12 9:46:04 >
There are a number of states that could be of interest, titles, tooltips, fileviews etc. There are a number of needs outside my own.
What comprise a good design move is always up for discussion. For most people, that is. In my book simplicity is a huge factor in a good design. This is simple, even if I need to add 2 lines to set the Look and Feel.
There may be issues in the serialization concept that I do not know about. Perhaps I may run the risk of cascade serialization due to listener objects, or similar. This I would like to discuss, perhaps not with you.
But I still need some tip regarding setting the Look and Feel for a JFileChooser object.
