How to access the selected file in your desktop

My project involves a Java program running in the background which is used to copy files that I have selected on the desktop or file explorer.

I have a slight problem. Suppose i have a file selected on my desktop or on a a windows folder. Is there anyway that I could determine what that selected file is using Java?
