Solution

  • First, you need to get the date from the component, something like...

    Date date = jDateChooser1.getDate();
    

    Next you need to format that Date value to a String

    String strDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(date);
    

    Finally, you need to set that value as the text for the lable...

    jLabel1.setText(strDate);
    

    If you have particular formatting requirements, you may need to look at SimpleDateFormat
