JFileChooser with confirmation dialog

Question

I am working on a program that loads and saves data from text files, and I am asking the user a file name with JFileChooser on load and save.

This question is about the save dialog: new JFileChooser().showSaveDialog();. The user then could overwrite an existing file without any warning, and that would be a problem.

Any suggestion on how to fix this? I have been looking for some method or option, but I didn't found anything.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers, but I found another workaround, overriding the approveSelection() of the JFileChooser, this way:

JFileChooser example = new JFileChooser(){     @Override     public void approveSelection(){         File f = getSelectedFile();         if(f.exists() && getDialogType() == SAVE_DIALOG){             int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,"The file exists, overwrite?","Existing file",JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);             switch(result){                 case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:                     super.approveSelection();                     return;                 case JOptionPane.NO_OPTION:                     return;                 case JOptionPane.CLOSED_OPTION:                     return;                 case JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION:                     cancelSelection();                     return;             }         }         super.approveSelection();     }         } 

I hope this could be useful for someone else.
