File save and display in Swing

[thomas jacob]

I want to display the contents of the file on my local drive on a TextArea or TextPane when the user selects a file using FileChooser. Later the contents of the TextArea are read and few changes are made. I want to then get the modified contexts from the TextArea/TextPane component and save it into another using Swings. How do I do that

java.io.FileReader
java.io.FileWriter

read up on those two API's for starters to read/write files.

You can build a StringBuilder or StringBuffer to setText() of the javax.swing.JTextArea

Those are some ideas to get you started...
