How do I choose the download location of a report made in Java?

Question

So, I created an application that generates an ODT file... in the code I am specifying exactly where it should be saved, which is in 'c:/test/sample_report.odt'... I put this name to test... the problem is that the file will always be saved in this folder... I don’t want that, when we are browsing the internet and we download a file and click on it, using Chrome for example it already downloads to the folder 'downloads', with firefox or IE a window appears to choose the location where it will be saved, this is what I want... the problem of the way I did is that the person needs to have the folder 'test' in 'c:'... I do not want this, I want to click to work like any other download made on the net... follows my code: .

   try {
    URL arquivo = getClass().getResource(/reports/term.jasper);
    JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(arquivo);

   //Aqui é gerado o DTO que será enviado para o IReport
    ArrayList<MinutoTRDto> dataList = getDataBeanList(licitacao);
    JRBeanCollectionDataSource beanColDataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(dataList);

    Map<String, Object> parameters = getParametros();            
    JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, beanColDataSource);

    JROdtExporter exporterOdt = new JROdtExporter();
    exporterOdt.setExporterInput(new SimpleExporterInput(print));





    // AQUI ESTA O GRANDE PROBLEMA!
    exporterOdt.setExporterOutput(new SimpleOutputStreamExporterOutput("C://teste//sample_report.odt"));
    exporterOdt.exportReport();

} catch (JRException jre) {
    jre.printStackTrace();
}

If you want the user to choose the location that will save, just use Jfilechooser, then he chooses where he wants to save and you pass the path where will be saved...
