Opening Text with jFileChooser

[Rylogy]

Hello can anyone help me out here i'm new at java programming, i'm using NetBeans3.6.
Look I want to open a text file using jFileChooser but I don't know how to, i've already opened a text file but without the jFileChooser.

Here's the code:

private void jMenuItem1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
jTextArea1.setText("");
String record = null;

try {

FileReader fr = new FileReader("/home/gap/Desktop/text.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

record = new String();
while ((record = br.readLine()) != null) {

jTextArea1.append(record);
jTextArea1.append("\n");

}
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch possible io errors from readLine()
System.out.println("IOException error!");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

here is some code from the java API that may help


The following code pops up a file chooser for the user's home directory that sees only .jpg and .gif images:

    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    // Note: source for ExampleFileFilter can be found in FileChooserDemo,
    // under the demo/jfc directory in the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition.
    ExampleFileFilter filter = new ExampleFileFilter();
    filter.addExtension("jpg");
    filter.addExtension("gif");
    filter.setDescription("JPG & GIF Images");
    chooser.setFileFilter(filter);
    int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(parent);
    if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
       System.out.println("You chose to open this file: " +
            chooser.getSelectedFile().getName());
    }
