public class NativeJFileChooser
extends JFileChooser

This is a drop-in replacement for Swing's file chooser. Instead of displaying Swing's file chooser, it makes use of JavaFX's file chooser. JavaFX uses the OS's native file chooser. Technically, this class is a memory hog, but its use is convenient. Furthermore, if JavaFX is not available, the default file chooser will be displayed instead. Of course, this class will not compile if you don't have an JDK 8 or higher that has JavaFX support. Since this class will have to call the constructor of JFileChooser, it won't increase the performance of the file chooser; if anything, it might further decrease it. Please note that some methods have not been overwritten and may not have any impact on the file chooser. Sometimes, the new JavaFX file chooser does not provide certain functionality. One feature that is not supported is the selection of files AND directories. If trying to set this using setFileSelectionMode(), still only files will be selectable.
