Question

I know its a very specific question but this is the situation:

I am taking one file as an input using BROWSE dialog box of swing.

Now I am converting that file into other file.

So when conversion is completed.
At best I want that file to be opened in any editor
OR
may be we can just open a window which shows folder which contains that file as shown in fig.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

to open windows explorer window:

public static void selectObjectInExplorer(final String path) throws Exception {
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    rt.exec("explorer /select," + path);
}

if you want to open the file using default application you can use Desktop class

  public static void openFile(final String path) throws IOException{
        File file = new File(path);
        if ( file.exists() ) {
            Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
            desktop.open(file);
        }
    }
