I've written a plug-in and added a directory that has several xml files
in it. Can I use FileDialog to present a list to the user to access the
files in the plug-in? If so, how do I go about coding it?

If you package your plugin as a jar, FileDialog won't help. Otherwise you
can get the installed location of a plugin and use the FileDialog. My
suggestion would be not to use the FileDialog and use a custom selection
dialog, which displays the list of file names and upon selection, try to use
FileLocator.find()

Maybe it would be better to re-phrase my question.

I have several xml files that I need to have for my program. Also, users
can create new xml files to add to there collection.

How should I package these files?
