Displaying only folders in FileDialog

Question

I would like to create a dialog box that would allow the user to
choose a directory, not a file. Is there any way to use the FileDialog box available in AWT to do this (and using Swing is not an option and i know how to do it in JFileChooser)??
Any ideas or samples to how to do this would be greatly appreciated!

I have not tested if this works, but you can try using the directory filter below via FileDialog's setFilenameFilter method.
public class DirectoryFilter implements java.io.FilenameFilter {
public void accept(File dir, String name) {
File file = new File(dir, name);
return file.isDirectory();
