I'm not sure what your problem actually is (it's probably your Netbeans.... who knows), but have you tried overriding the createDialog method?

Example:

JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser() {
   @Override
   protected JDialog createDialog(Component parent) throws HeadlessException {
       // intercept the dialog created by JFileChooser
       JDialog dialog = super.createDialog(parent);
       dialog.setModal(true);  // set modality (or setModalityType)
       return dialog;
   }
};

This is merely a hack solution, you should not need to do that ordinarily.
