Its very easy actually.

You can use a Text widget where the user can enter the path. Normally you will 
have that Text widget anyway on your GUI since you want to show the path after 
it is being selected by the File Chooser. Instead of setting the Text widget to 
read only, enable text input for the user and validate its input by checking if 
"new File(path).exists()" returns true.

In the test you don't automate the File Chooser but simply set text in the text 
box, which works since it is no native dialogs.

If possible I would avoid native dialogs. They have other side effects, for 
example they cannot be localized I think. If you set the language to German for 
instance and run it on a English Operating System, the native dialogs will show 
English texts. They cannot be translated with the resource bundle I think.

Concerning file chooser there is this testability workaround which I described 
above.
