JFileChooser in Java Swing

File choosers provide a GUI for navigating the file system, and then either choosing a file or directory from a list or entering a file name or directory name. To display a file chooser, you can either add an instance of JFileChooser to a container, or use the JFileChooser API to show a modaldialog that contains a file chooser. File choosers often appear within modal dialogs because file operations can be sensitive to changes within a program.

A JFileChooser object only presents the GUI for choosing files. Your program is responsible for doing something with the chosen file, such as opening or saving it.

The following program display a simple JFileChooser in Java Swing.
