Using SWT's FileDialog with SWT.OPEN and SWT.MULTI as the flags I can select 
many files.  Using SWT's DirectoryDialog I can select a directory.  But what I 
really would like is one single Dialog that can select a mixture of both files 
and directories and return an array of String[] file paths for the mixed 
selection.

Swing's JFileChooser can do this, and may serve as a model for 
implementation.  I don't think any of the platforms have native support for 
such a dialog, but maybe something could be created in SWT?

None of the native file dialogs allow this.  Unfortunately, we have to stick 
with what they can do.
