You can create a subclass of FileFilter and implement the accept method to accept only files ending in *.csv. Then add to the FileFilter using JFicleChooser.setFileFilter() method.

public class CSVFileFilter extends FileFilter
{
   public boolean accept(File f)
   {
      if (f.isDirectory())
      {
         return true;
      }
 
      String name = f.getName();
      String[] parts = name.split(".")
      String ext = parts[1];
 
      return ext.equalsIgnoreCase("csv");
   }
}
