To get directories from JFileChoose, use the mode setFileSelectionMode −

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

The following is an example to get Directories from JFileChooser −

Example

import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser(); file.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
         file.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
      int res = file.showOpenDialog(null);
      if (res == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) { java.io.File f = file.getSelectedFile();
         System.err.println(f.getPath());
      }
   }
}

Output
