reading a file

What is the easies way to put the contents of a text file into a JTextArea? This is what I got so far.

try{
FileReader in = new FileReader(fileChooser.getSelectedFile());
int c;
textBox.setText("");

while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {

}

in.close();
}catch(java.io.IOException f){

:)

Code:

---

import java.io.*;
 import java.awt.*;
 import javax.swing.*;
 import java.awt.event.*; 

  public class FileExample{
    public static void main(String [] args){
     
      JFrame jf = new JFrame("FileReader");
      jf.addWindowListener(new WindowMonitor());
      JTextArea jta = new JTextArea();
      jta.setLineWrap(true);
      jta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
      Container c = jf.getContentPane();
      c.add(jta);
      jf.setSize(400,300);
      jf.setVisible(true);
      fill("C:\\Java\\Novice1.txt", jta);
  }

  public static void fill(String f, JTextArea jta){
  try{
  File file = new File(f);
  BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
  char[] c = new char[getFileCharCount(f)];
  Character[] C = new Character[c.length];
  int charsread;
 
  while(true){
  charsread = buff.read(c);
  if(charsread == -1) break; 
 }
 
    for(int i = 0; i < c.length; ++i){
    C[i] = new Character(c[i]);
    jta.append(C[i].toString());
    }
  }catch(IOException e){System.err.println(e);}
}

  public static int getFileCharCount(String file) {

    String lineOnebyOne = null;
    String finalText = null;
    int numberOfChar = 0;
  try{
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
    while ((lineOnebyOne = br.readLine ())!= null){
      finalText += lineOnebyOne;
      numberOfChar = finalText.length();
    }
      br.close();
    }catch(IOException e){System.err.println(e + "getFileCharCount");}
      return numberOfChar;
    }
  }
 class WindowMonitor extends WindowAdapter {
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
      System.exit(0);
    }
  }
