To create FileFilter, use the FileNamExtensionFilter class. The following is an example to display File Type in JFileChooser −

Example

import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileNameExtensionFilter;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser();
      file.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
      FileNameExtensionFilter extFilter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("JPEG file", "jpg", "jpeg");
      file.addChoosableFileFilter(extFilter);
      file.showOpenDialog(null);
   }
}
