How to Select a File Using Java JFIleChooser (Simple)

Greetings, today we shall be looking at how to select 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.
