Getting the File-Type Name of a File
Files and directories have a type, usually based on their
extension. This example retrieves the name of the file type. Examples
of file-type names include Java Source and Shortcut.
This name is displayed with the filename in a file chooser dialog.
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
// Create a File instance of the file
File file = new File("filename.txt");
// Get the file type name
String fileTypeName = chooser.getTypeDescription(file);
// Text Document
