<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFileChooser.html#setMultiSelectionEnabled(boolean)>

 From your first post it looks like you may have tried that.  Did you also use
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFileChooser.html#setDragEnabled(boolean)>
with it?

I haven't tried these myself; I'm just going by the Javadocs.  From your post
it sounds like this might apply:
> Some look and feels might not support automatic drag and drop; they will ignore this property. You can work around such look and feels by modifying the component to directly call the exportAsDrag method of a TransferHandler.

at least when you have multi-select enabled, or perhaps this:
> The transferHandler property needs to be set to a non-null value for the drag to do anything.
