How do you write a class to return a file?

So I've read http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html But I still do not know how to pass a file to a calling method of another class. How does the FileChooser class retrun the file. Please help.

Read the API. Even comes with an example. http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFileChooser.html

I am not lazy. I am an excellent VB programmer and I am honestly struggling with Java. I read that it does not help me to understand what I want to do and all I want to do is return a file to a calling object.Message was edited by: mransome

You mean something like this?

import java.io.File;

public class FileTest {

public File getFile(String path) {

//Example path = "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt"

return new File(path);

}

Obviously that method is overkill but it demonstrates the very tricky :-) task of return a File Object.
