public class SelectFile extends JFrame{


    public static void main(String[]args){
                    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                    frame.setLayout(null);

                    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                    frame.setTitle("Select File for Linking");
                    frame.setSize(400, 100);
                    Container container = frame.getContentPane();
                    container.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

                    final JTextField text=new JTextField(20);

                    JButton b=new JButton("Select File");
                    text.setBounds(20,20,120,20);
                    b.setBounds(150,20,80,20);

                   // b.setText("<html><font color='blue'><u>Select File</u></font></html>");
                    b.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
                    //b.setBorderPainted(false);

                    b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                                JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
                                fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new OnlyExt());

                                int returnval = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
                                if (returnval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                                File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
                                text.setText(file.getPath());
                                } 
                            }
                    });

            }
    }
        class OnlyExt extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter{
            public boolean accept(File file) {
        if (file.isDirectory()) return false;
        String name = file.getName().toLowerCase();
