I found a good example of what you need in this link   import javax swing JFileChooser   public class Main     public static void main String s          JFileChooser chooser   new JFileChooser        chooser setCurrentDirectory new java io File            chooser setDialogTitle  choosertitle        chooser setFileSelectionMode JFileChooser DIRECTORIES ONLY       chooser setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed false        if  chooser showOpenDialog null     JFileChooser APPROVE OPTION          System out println  getCurrentDirectory        chooser getCurrentDirectory           System out println  getSelectedFile         chooser getSelectedFile           else         System out println  No Selection
