Hi Costantino et al.,

Now it remains to specify "a well-suited API" for the DirectoryDialog.
I think, this is a task for you, and then Damjan and I can begin to
write the peers for X11, GTK and Windows.
I think the following template is good to start with:
public class DirectoryDialog extends Dialog {
// Constructors
public DirectoryDialog(Frame parent);
public DirectoryDialog(Frame parent, String title);
public DirectoryDialog(Dialog parent);
public DirectoryDialog(Dialog parent, String title);
// Getters/setters
public File getDirectory();
public void setDirectory(File dir);
// Utility methods
public void addNotify();
protected String paramString();
private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s);
}
Quite similar to what the FileDialog is. Of course, we need to write up
some specification for each public method and the class itself. Please
refer to the FileDialog for an example.
Suggestions are welcome. I also encourage other AWT team members and
those lurking the mailing list, to take part in defining the API for
this new class.
