  BufferedReader buff = null;
  try {
       buff = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(selFile));
       String str;
       while ((str = buff.readLine()) != null) {
       jtextArea.append("\n"+str);
   }
 } catch (IOException e) {
  } finally {
    try { in.close(); } catch (Exception ex) { }
    }
