Getting and Setting the Selected File of a JFileChooser Dialog
When setting the selected file, the file chooser dialog automatically sets
the current directory.
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
// Set the current directory to the application's current directory
try {
// Create a File object containing the canonical path of the
// desired file
File f = new File(new File("filename.txt").getCanonicalPath());
// Set the selected file
chooser.setSelectedFile(f);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
// Show the dialog; wait until dialog is closed
chooser.showOpenDialog(frame);
// Get the currently selected file
File curFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
