ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Windows 10 / 11

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Windows 10 / 11 is arguably the most important Java Desktop platform, and yet some java.awt.Desktop features (i.e. Desktop.Action.BROWSE_FILE_DIR) unexpectedly don't work on Windows. Notably, the Shell32 API does have a SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems function which does what we need.


I have worked around the Java Desktop API by calling SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems directly via JNA:

Note that this RFE is a duplicate of this Bug Report:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8233994


PS: I will go out on a limb and assume that Desktop::browseFileDirectory is also not implemented for Linux, but that's a matter for another day.
