Does anyone know the best way to create a new folder using the JFileChooser.I have it set to look at directories only but Im trying to get it to create a folder when I click on the "open" button. Im lost at the moment and any help along those lines would be a help.

You probable should use showSaveDialog() as your not opening a file. Then use code like the following to create the new directory in the directory that the user
has selected.

 if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
 {
       File  dirRoot = fc.getSelectedFile();
       File  newDir = new    File(dirRoot.getPath()+System.getProperty("file.separator")+urNewDirectoryAsaString);                               
       newDir.createNewFile();
}
