How do I check whether a SQLite database file exists using Java?

Question

I get the name of database file from a user, and I want to check if that file already exists. If it does exist, I want to show an error message to user, but I don't know how to check if the file exists.

public static void databaseConnect(String dbName) throws Exception
{
  if (/*same name exists*/) // How do I check this?
  {
    System.out.print("This database name already exists");
  }
  else
  {
    Class.forName("SQLite.JDBCDriver").newInstance();           
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:/"+ dbName);
    stat = conn.createStatement(); 
  } 
}

public static void databaseConnect(String dbName) throws Exception {

   File file = new File (dbName);

  if(file.exists()) //here's how to check
     {
         System.out.print("This database name already exists");
     }
     else{

           Class.forName("SQLite.JDBCDriver").newInstance();            
           conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:/"+ dbName);
           stat = conn.createStatement(); 

     }
