application come down to personal preferences. Personally, I simply
create a vanilla Java Application Project, with nothing more than a Main
class, and build my entire application from scratch. But, that's my
personal preference, as it gives me more control over the final application.

The only way that I know how to "bind" the property is to use the
JFileChooser.setSelectedFile() method. This method takes a File object
as a parameter, so you could do the following:
JFileChooser getFile = new
JFileChooser(bean.getTextProperty.toString()); // "binds" the property
using the constructor.
getFile.setSelectedFile(new File(bean.getTextProperty.toString())); //
"binds" the property at a later point after the JFileChooser has already
been created.
These two methods are the only way that *I* know to "bind" the property
to the text field on the JFileChooser object. I don't know if this is
what you were looking for, but this is how I do it. As I said in my
answer to question 1, I like to have total control over my application,
so I take care of most things via code...I think it comes from my
background in other languages. ;-)
