Open various files using a java netbeans program

Question

I would like to make a program that in java using netbeans. I want this program to search through a specified folder and display all files into a text area.

here's what I saw on stackoverflow:

File file = new File("/path/to/directory");
String[] directories = file.list(new FilenameFilter() {
  @Override
  public boolean accept(File current, String name) {
    return new File(current, name).isDirectory();
  }
});
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(directories));

how do I make it better?

way too broad. I don't want to discourage you, but gotta vote to close. If you break this up into smaller projects, that would make sense. Also, you need at least SOME code. Show at least an attempt to list the contents of a directory is my suggestion. — Thufir, Jun 07 '17 at 23:20
If you can just show be a quick line of code that opens cmd and uses a command to open a file I can probably figure out the rest — Caleb, Jun 07 '17 at 23:22

File file=new File("path to your file");   
 Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,OpenAs_RunDLL " + file.getAbsolutePath());
    p.waitFor();

this code simply opens Files
