Once you show the dialog, the user selects a file and then presses the APPROVE_BUTTON. After that it is up to you to physically save the file.

 
int option = chooser.showOpenDialog(parentPanel);
if(option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
if(chooser.getSelectedFile()!=null){
File theFileToSave = chooser.getSelectedFile();
 
//Now save the file
 
 

Cheers,
Rachel

JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
int returnVal = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(null);
