What is `jDateChooser1`? Please, post the code related to the problem. – Christian Tapia Jan 09 '14 at 06:07

@Christian `JDateChooser` is a date picker from the [`JCalendar`](http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/) library – MadProgrammer Jan 09 '14 at 06:16

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

Try this,
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String date = sdf.format(jDateChooser1.getSelectedDate().getTime());
jLabel1.setText(date);
