Hi Ian,
You can determine whether a directory should be treated like a file using
method isTraversable() of a javax.swing.filechooser.FileView object.
You can not directly create a FileView object. Create a JFileChooser first,
and then invoke getFileView() on it.
If you do it this way, you will get a FileView object which knows about the
platform specific rules for this. i.e. it will work properly for the
different Mac OS X versions and also for other operating systems.
