import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class FileDialogStartingDirectoryFileName {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Display display = new Display();
    final Shell shell = new Shell(display);

    FileDialog dlg = new FileDialog(shell, SWT.OPEN);

    dlg.setFilterPath("C:/");

    String fileName = dlg.open();
    if (fileName != null) {
      System.out.println(fileName);
    }

    display.dispose();
