A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
this is a continuation of bug 4037524 except there is now an additional issue: JFileChooser does not bring up the native open dialog on mac os x. Hence JFileChooser is *not* an option over FileDialog in this case.

JUSTIFICATION :
native feeling required for acceptance of Java on the desktop.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
either
make jfiledialog look native (which I see problems with but not impossible), which would be optimal

or

add directorymode to filedialog

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
see bug 4037524, run on mac os x.
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
jfilechooser, but it looks very out of place
