    Default help with parameters in FileChooser

    Hi everyone! I am learning java programming in my spare time and I'm having trouble with some parameters in showSaveDialog. I canīt get the save dialog to appear. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    import java.io.*;
    import javafx.stage.FileChooser;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
     
    public class main extends javax.swing.JFrame {
     
        private void saveToFile(){
            try{
                FileWriter writer=new FileWriter("save.nfo",false);
                writer.write(id.getText());
                writer.write(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
                writer.write(name.getText());
                writer.write(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
                writer.write(dep.getText());
                writer.write(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
                writer.close();
     
     
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane,"Success");
     
            }catch(Exception e){
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane,"Error");
            }
        }
     
        private void saveActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                     
     
            //Set extension filter for text files.
            FileChooser fileChooser=new FileChooser();
            FileChooser.ExtensionFilter extFilter=new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("Only TXT files (*.txt)", "*.txt");
            fileChooser.getExtensionFilters().add(extFilter);
     
     
     
            //Show save file dialog
            File file=fileChooser.showSaveDialog();//Don't know what parameter to use to make the dialog appear. No errors with 'null' but not helpful. 
     
            if (file != null) {
                saveToFile();
            }
     
        }                                    
     
    }

    FileChooser belongs with the javafx classes. Try using the JFileChooser class. It is part of the swing classes.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
