Just in the preferences of NetBeans, one can find three different types of file choosers where one single (generic) type would (and should) be enough.

Comment 5 Stanislav Aubrecht 2013-07-09 09:54:23 UTC
Only Android dir chooser is actually different. Other file chooser use the same API. They differ because they have different properties/functionality enabled/disabled, e.g. creation of new directories is (not) allowed, file must exist etc.

Reassigning to J. Becicka to evaluate the dir chooser for SDK folder in Options window.
