File system browser current selected item/file?

Writing Macros
jedit macro newbie; jedit user for a bit; java journeyman.

In a macro, is possible to get the currently selected item in the filesystem browser?

so in my random hacks I have gotten this..

doc = view.getDockableWindowManager();
names = doc.getRegisteredDockableWindows();

with the idea that if I had a handle of the file system browser (currently docked) then I could interrogate file system browser for the currently selected file(s) - it seems there are some getSelected methods in the VFSBrowser....on the right track?

The snippet below seems to work, but I wonder if there is a better way? ----- 
doc = view.getDockableWindowManager();
names = doc.getRegisteredDockableWindows();
VFS_BrowserName="vfs.browser";
theBrowser=null;
for( ii = 0; ii < names.length; ii++)
{
	if(VFS_BrowserName.equals(names[ii]))
	{
		print("I found it  at " + ii);
		theBrowser =doc.getDockableWindow(VFS_BrowserName);
		print(theBrowser);
	}
}

if(theBrowser != null)
{
	selectedFiles = theBrowser.getSelectedFiles();
	if(selectedFile!=null)
		print(selectedFiles);
	else
		print("noting selected");
}
