I'm working on a personal project which involves editing multiple docx files. Currently, I'm working on creating a program which will allow me to select multiple files and edit them all at once (all documents will be in the same format, so changes needed are the same). Anyways, I found a GUI that seemed very well suited to my needs here:
Drag'n drop files from the OS to Java application (Swing)
which I have edited, and will edit a bit more to suit my taste in the future. My current code is this:

The code currently produces this:

My goal is to make it so all of the files selected in the bottom area will then be edited when the user clicks OK (At the moment clicking OK simply creates a word document using docx4j, so if you're looking to put this into your IDE it would probably be best to comment out the test method and part of the ActionListener that have to do with it).
Anyways, my question boils down to...
How do I take a number of files selected in this bottom area and have the OK button do stuff to them?
I want to write a method which will be called for each file when I press the OK button, but I'm not sure how to use the files once they've been moved into the area.
Thanks for your time!
P.S. (I was also trying to remove the console on the right side and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it without breaking the entire window, so a few pointers there would be appreciated, although I'm sure I'll get it after a few hours of sleep. Thanks!)
