A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
JFileChooser allows its create new folder button to be enabled, even when a developer simply wants to allow a user to open a file. Preventing the creation of folders in a read-mode is a common scenario. As such, the JFileChooser class should have a method which provides the ability to disable this button simply.

JUSTIFICATION :
As mentioned above, many developers would like a simple hook which would take care of this. Current workarounds are not intuitive.
