There are a variety of features in the platform-specific Open/Save dialogs
that aren't available in the Swing version; its look and feel is also lacking.
Specifically, there was a request to allow rectangular selection of multiple
documents.
Check out the Quaqua look and feel. It provides a Swing
JFileChooser implementation with Mac-like column-view
behavior. It is BSD/LGPL licensed, so DrJava could
redistribute it under BSD terms.

A "back" button to navigate to the directory that was
previously displayed was requested, too.
