Choosing a folder with JFileChooser

I want the user to choose where should a certain file be produced in which folder using aJFileChooser. However, I do not want the user to choose a file, but a folder only.

How would i go on about doing that?

You can do that as follows:

fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);

You would use setFileSelectionMode():

Sets the JFileChooser to allow the user to just select files, just select directories, or select both files and directories. The default is JFilesChooser.FILES_ONLY.

This should work

JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
