Check setFileHidingEnabled method of JFileChooser.

This method

Sets file hiding on or off. If true, hidden files are not shown in the file chooser. The job of determining which files are shown is done by the FileView.

fileChooser.setFileHidingEnabled(false);

Setting false to the method setFileHidingEnabled() of JFileChooser lets hidden files be shown. see : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html
