Browse for folder dialog

I need to know how to get the "browse for folder" dialog in java. I am aware of SWT. But I need to do in swing? Is there any solution to this?

[As we start on eclipse it will ask for choose workspace. We can see the browse for folder dialog at that time] Thanks in advance.

Pre-chewed code:

JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setCurrentDirectory(new java.io.File(".")); // start at application current directory
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
int returnVal = fc.showSaveDialog(this);
if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    File yourFolder = fc.getSelectedFile();
}

JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser();
j.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
Integer opt = j.showSaveDialog(this);

You can force JFileChooser to select only folders, if you add the following command.

        _fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode( JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);

in the snippet that Bibhaw posted.
