Sorry I did have something wrong, a messup in my source control, so my 
latets code wasn't being run.
Now when using FIleDIalog it does display a native dialog , but I want 
to be able to select folders not files, but it is not letting me, Ive 
tried using

System.setProperty("apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories", "true");

but seems to have no effect, is this option still supported ?
