JFileChooser Save Dialog Suggest File Name

Question

JFileChooser.showSaveDialog(…) - how to set suggested file name

I have seen this question asked a few times but no answer has been any help to me. I want the save dialog to suggest a file name like "myFile.txt" using JFileChooser.

Heres what i have:

JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
jFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File("C:\\"));
jFileChooser.showSaveDialog(null);

And this does not work? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/356671/jfilechooser-showsavedialog-how-to-set-suggested-file-name — sorencito, Dec 22 '12 at 12:42
Apologies, never came across those somehow. I even went through the suggestions while typing this. — user1081326, Dec 22 '12 at 12:51

This will do it:

jFileChooser.setSelectedFile(new File(optionalPath + "myFile.txt"));
