Finally, I solved my own problem:

JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser("C:/");
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new JPGSaveFilter());
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new JPEGSaveFilter());
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new PNGSaveFilter());
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new GIFSaveFilter());
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new BMPSaveFilter());
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new WBMPSaveFilter()); 

int retrieval = fc.showSaveDialog(null);

if (retrieval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
  String ext = "";

  String extension = fc.getFileFilter().getDescription();

  if (extension.equals("*.jpg,*.JPG")) {
    ext = ".jpg";
  } else if (extension.equals("*.png,*.PNG")) {
    ext = ".png";
  } else if (extension.equals("*.gif,*.GIF")) {
    ext = ".gif";
  } else if (extension.equals("*.wbmp,*.WBMP")) {
    ext = ".wbmp";
  } else if (extension.equals("*.jpeg,*.JPEG")) {
    ext = ".jpeg";
  } else if (extension.equals("*.bmp,*.BMP")) {
    ext = ".bmp";
  }
}

Example Filter:

package example

import java.io.File;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter;

class JPGSaveFilter extends FileFilter {
  @Override
  public boolean accept(File f) {
    if (f.isDirectory()) {
      return false;
    }

    String s = f.getName().toLowerCase();

    return s.endsWith(".jpg");
  }

  @Override
  public String getDescription() {
    return "*.jpg,*.JPG";
  }
}
