I need a Open file Dialog. I was seeing the JFileChooser and I did this class. public class JDialogFileOpen extends JFileChooser { public int showDialog(Component arg0, String arg1) throws HeadlessException { while (true) { int nOption = super.showDialog(arg0, arg1); if (nOption != JDialogFileOpen.APPROVE_OPTION) { return nOption; } else { File file = this.getSelectedFile(); if (file.exists() && file.isFile()) { return nOption; } else { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this, file.getPath()+"\nFile not found.", null, JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE); } } } } } When the file does not exists shows a error message and reshow the JFileChooser. I don't want the JFileChooser to desapear. Is this possible?
