Perhaps you can take a little more time writing your post so that we can
understand it.

To maximise a window have a look at the method setExtendedState in the
java class Frame. You will find that most windows inherit from this class.

To add an action listener you should learn to read documentation at
java.sun.com and use google, but it would go something like this:

JButton button = new JButton("A Button");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
//write your code to launch a file chooser here
}
});


I make no guarantees, I just wrote the above in 10 seconds, it may have
minor errors, it may not.
