Anyone know a quick and easy way to relabel the "File Name" label in JFileChooser? For what I need it should more properly say "Directory Name"

JFileChooser has a method called setDialogTitle( String ) that I believe you will find very helpful...

I'm already using that. What I want to override is the text next to the box where you type in the "file name" - because I'm not selecting a file, but rather a directory.

Hi Tim,
I don't know LnF that are you using? I suppose you use Windows Look and Feel. Because JFileChooser's UI depends on WindowsFileChooserUI class (com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsFileChooserUI), but this class is extended from BasicFileChooserUI. So I can create subclass of WindowsFileChooser class, then modify its code. Unfortunately, many variables of WindowsFileChooser class are declared private. The easiest to do that to borrow, then modify, the code from the original WindowsFileChooser class. In the following code, you should observe installStrings(JFileChooser) method.
class MyFileChooser extends JFileChooser {
public MyFileChooser() {
super();
setUI(new MyFileChooserUI(this));
}
}

So much for "Quick and Easy".
I can see their point - it's "Directory name" for some systems (PLAF) and "Folder name" for others, and that's discounting other languages. It actually points out a deficiency in the JFileChooser, since it KNOWS I'm asking only for directories.
Since I have no concurrency issues, perhaps the best way would be to cache the current UIManager string and temporarily override it. Yick.
 
I've read about this kind of thing at the checkout counter. That's where I met this tiny ad:
