import org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException;

This filter accepts Files that are hidden.

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's hidden files:

FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager();
FileObject dir = fsManager.toFileObject(new File("."));
FileObject[] files = dir.findFiles(new FileFilterSelector(HiddenFileFilter.HIDDEN));
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    System.out.println(files[i]);
}

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's visible (i.e. not hidden) files:

FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager();
FileObject dir = fsManager.toFileObject(new File("."));
FileObject[] files = dir.findFiles(new FileFilterSelector(HiddenFileFilter.VISIBLE));
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    System.out.println(files[i]);
}
