How to Select and Open a File Using Java JFileChooser (Simple)

Greetings, today we shall be looking at how to select and open a file using the Java JFileChooser. The Java JFileChooser has a file explorer window, similar to the ones you find with Windows, Mac OSX and some variants of Linux. The user can navigate the files on the PC.

With the Java JFileChooser, we can specify which filelocation the file chooser window will show. We can also get the filepath of the file the user selects using the Java JFileChooser file explorer. With this filepath, we can do whatever we want with it. For example, we can open the file, delete the file, duplicate the file, edit it and som much more.

We also have this Java JFileChooser program set up so if the user doesn't select a file, we have a custom error message to let us know that the user decided to not select a file.

When the user selects a file and clicks the open button, we check if the current platform is supported then open the file with either the default program to open the file type of the file or the user selects what software to use to open the file.
