JFileChooser returns wrong getCurrentDirectory()?

this code doesnt returnt the correct current dirrectory? it appears to always returns the directory one higher than i want... any idea why?

JFileChooser chooser =new JFileChooser();

chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);

chooser.setVisible(true);

//get the return value

int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);

if(returnVal == JFileChooser.OPEN_DIALOG){

System.out.println("It is going to be written to the location: " +

chooser.getCurrentDirectory() );

}

Read the File API and try it again.

After reading File API read JFileChooser API concentrating on getCurrentDirectory() method
