Thats good news , but I am in fact using 1.7.0_08-ea, is there later 
version of 7u8 or am I using the fix wrong Im doing

         System.setProperty("apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories", "true");
         FileDialog chooser = new FileDialog(MainWindow.frame);
         chooser.setMode(FileDialog.LOAD);
         chooser.setVisible(true);
         String folderSelected = chooser.getDirectory();
         System.setProperty("apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories", "false");
         File folder = new File(folderSelected) ;
         if(folder.exists() && folder.isDirectory())
         {
             //DO something
         }
