如何从 .t​​xt 文件中读取数据并将数据放入对象的数组列表中?

到目前为止我所写的内容是根据我目前对基本数组的了解，但我只是不明白如何使用数组列表，或者如何从文件中读取.到目前为止我写的东西有效.任何帮助修复我的代码以从文件中读取并使用数组列表的链接或建议将不胜感激.谢谢.

What I have written so far works from my current knowledge of basic arrays, but I just don't understand how to use an arraylist, or how to read from a file. What I have written so far works. Any links or advice to help fix my code to read from a file and use an arraylist would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

public class TestPackages
{
   public static void main (String[] args) 
    {
       Packages testPackages = new Packages();

       testPackages.addPacket(1001, 7.37, "CA");
       testPackages.addPacket(1002, 5.17, "CT");
       testPackages.addPacket(1003, 11.35, "NY");
       testPackages.addPacket(1004, 20.17, "MA" );
       testPackages.addPacket(1005, 9.99, "FL");
       testPackages.addPacket(1006, 14.91, "VT");
       testPackages.addPacket(1007, 4.97, "TX");

       System.out.println(testPackages); 
    }
}
