For selecting files, you should use a JFileChooser:

JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
jfc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
jfc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
int status = jfc.showOpenDialog(this); // 'this' must refer to a jframe

if(status == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
File f = jfc.getSelectedFile();
}

Kind regards,
Noel
