# Class FileEditor

java.lang.Object
org.apache.jmeter.testbeans.gui.FileEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `ActionListener`, `PropertyEditor`, `EventListener`

public class FileEditor extends Object implements PropertyEditor, ActionListener
A property editor for File properties.

Note that it never gives out File objects, but always Strings. This is because JMeter is now too dumb to handle File objects (there's no FileProperty).
