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.

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.
