Multiple file selection: yes, it's in JDK7 API. It's not implemented yet 
in Mac OS X port, though :)

Folder selection: no.

Different modality: it was introduced in JDK6, with all other AWT 
modality features. However, there is no "sheet" modality type, only 
"document" and "application". It can be a good candidate for JDK8.
