JFileChooser shows invalid file size in detail view

Question

Please refer to the image below and clarify me what is the root cause for this. While windows explorer shows correct file size, JFileChooser shows wrong size. I am telling file chooser is wrong because txt file is 0 byte file which I created, but file chooser shows 1kb for the same.

*"windows explorer shows correct file size"* Actually it doesn't. Right click on the file and 'show details' for the correct size. — Andrew Thompson, Oct 31 '16 at 06:50
yes, I did that as well, windows file properties shows it is 0 byte in both windows. — Dilanka M, Oct 31 '16 at 06:56
OK.. well the rest can be explained by 'rounding differences' in the last digit of '# of K'. This is fussing over trivialities. — Andrew Thompson, Oct 31 '16 at 06:58

Notice that the size of the same file in each of the two listings differs by 1 KB. Windows includes the file's metadata, like they talk about here, but JFileChooser includes just the length() of the file's content.
