Oh drat, shame as the similar "apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories" was 
added, having said that when I use this in another project it was with 
an early access release of 1.7.0_40 , now with the final release 
although I can select folders as required , I can also select files I 
thought they were hidden or greyed out, or is my memory failing me.

I must admit I wasn't aware of the  apple.awt-use-dialog-packages 
property myself, I only found it when I delved into how 
ApplicationDialog in Mrjadapter project worked
