This can be done with JFileChooser. Official Tutorial is the best place to start.

Important steps are:

JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
    //This is where a real application would open the file.
    log.append("Opening: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
} else {
    log.append("Open command cancelled by user." + newline);
}
