Get the path of a directory using JFileChooser

Question

How can I get the absolute path of a directory using JFileChooser, just selecting the directory?

Answer 1

Use:

chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
//or
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);

together with:

chooser.getCurrentDirectory()
//or
chooser.getSelectedFile();

then call getAbsoluteFile() on the File object returned.
