JFileChooser is a JComponent:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
        tabbedPane.addTab("choose file", new JFileChooser());
        tabbedPane.addTab("choose color", new JColorChooser());
        final JFrame f = new JFrame("Example");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
}
