extends Object

It currently does not support wildcard charaters in the filename parameter.

Example

     FindFiles x = new FindFiles( System.getProperty("java.class.path") , "ComponentDefinition.xml");
     List files = x.getList();
     if(files == null)
         System.out.println("No Files Found");
     else {
         for(Iterator it = files.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
             File file = (File) it.next();
             System.out.println( file.getPath() );
         }
         System.out.println(files.size() + " File(s) Found");
