I am new to eclipse window builder and want to create a simple GUI with it. I want to add the JFileChooser, however it cannot be found in the palette, even though it's a Swing component. I searched through my components, but there is no file chooser.

How can I add the JFileChooser to Eclipse Window Builder?
