The one great thing about the Swing JFileChooser is that you can
maintain the same directories for opening and saving files. In other
words, one JFileChooser can be used for both and maintain the last
accessed directory.

Also file filters can be implemented successfully as opposed to bugs
in the awt version.

Finally, support for features like previewing images is now
available...this is a great bonus over the plain awt file dialog.

You have to use what suits you, but I believe that the Swing
developers have done a great job...just a little more work needed...
