[jira] [Commented] (PIVOT-864) Add a pluggable file system architecture to FileBrowser so remote browsing can be done

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-864?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13666642#comment-13666642 ] 

Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-864:
--------------------------------------

I have now the beginnings of a (Commons) VFS Browser (and accompanying Browser Sheet) that is basically working (tested so far only with local file browsing).  I plan to check this into "trunk" as a version 2.1 feature.  I have implemented a simple test program as well.  The Pivot .jar files also work as-is (i.e., without the additional Commons dependencies) if you don't instantiate the VFSBrowser classes.

There will be further refinements to this.  There is a Swing VFS Browser that I'm using as a guideline for features here: http://vfsjfilechooser.sourceforge.net/

> Our application requires the ability to be able to browse (for instance) a Linux machine from the Windows desktop.  For this I would like to add (somehow) a pluggable file system architecture so that I could (for instance) implement an FTP protocol underneath the FileBrowser so that I can browse through directories and files on something other than the local machine.  We would also need to be able to type in a host name or TCP/IP address to start browsing the remote machine.
