1) create a file dialog box
2) setMultiSelection(true);
3) if you get APPROVE_OPTION, call getSelectedFiles().
4) notice that getSelectedFiles() always returns an empty list.

public class FileChooser extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

public static void main(String args[]) {
    FileChooser fc = new FileChooser();

    fc.pack();
    fc.show();
}

public FileChooser() {

    JButton b = new JButton("Press for file dialog");
    b.addActionListener(this);
    getContentPane().add(b);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    chooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
    //chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
    if (chooser.showDialog((Component)e.getSource(),
"Ok")==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
        File[] files = chooser.getSelectedFiles();
        System.out.println("Number of selected files: " + files.length);
    }
}

}
