Drag-select problems with JFileChooser

Here's the deal: I've got a JFileChooser that I want users to be able to select multiple files. It works fine now with the Ctrl and Shift clicks, but you can't drag-select. Multiselect is enabled and so is DragEnabled. I'm using the system L&F.

Hoping to find something, if not I'm going to need to find another way.

DragEnabled in the JFileChooser doesn't allow you drag-select, it allows you to drag a file and drop it into another component, allowing for the ability to transfer files. I don't think the JFileChooser is capable of doing drag-select.

Yeah, I figured that one out, but it was worth a try Sad I posted a bug report.
