File location

[Greyskull]

hello,

the following code is an extract of my code

public FileChooserDemo() 
{
        fc = new JFileChooser();

        fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        //fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);

        openButton = new JButton("Open a File...");
        openButton.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) 
{
        if (e.getSource() == openButton) {
            int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(FileChooserDemo.this);

            if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                File file = fc.getSelectedFile();            
    }

The jframe is set-up so that it contains a jtextarea and a jbutton (open file).
How can i get the path of the file(picture - ill expand the code so that it will only select pictures) selected by the user and place the path onto the textarea?

Thanks for any help and/or suggestions,

fc.getSelectedFile().getPath();
