/**
 * A convenience implementation of FileFilter that filters out
 * all files except for those type extensions that it knows about.
 *
 * Extensions are of the type ".foo", which is typically found on
 * Windows and Unix boxes, but not on Macinthosh. Case is ignored.
 *
 * Example - create a new filter that filerts out all files
 * but gif and jpg image files:
 *
 *     JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
 *     ExampleFileFilter filter = new ExampleFileFilter(
 *                   new String{"gif", "jpg"}, "JPEG & GIF Images")
 *     chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
 *     chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
