Answer 1

Try This :

You Must be select File From JFileChooser. They doen't visible if you select Directoy only JFileChooser Doc Sets the selected file. If the file's parent directory is not the current directory, changes the current directory to be the file's parent directory. using a getAbsolutePath shows path of Folder.

    File selectedFile=JFileChooser_object.getSelectedFile();
    System.out.println("selected File path"+selectedFile.getAbsolutePath());



      public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e) {
      if (jButton.isEnabled())
      {
      JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
      chooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File("."));
      chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
      chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
      File selectedPfile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
      jTextField1.setText(selectedPfile.getAbsolutePath());
     }
    }
