I have implemented a FileChooserUI that roughly looks and behaves like the
native one in my Quaqua Look and Feel.
Here is a screenshot:

The AWT dialog uses the native file chooser. That's why it always has the
same feature set as the native user interface toolkit provides. For the
Swing FileChooserUI all these features need to be implemented again.
You may want to read the "Java Development Guide for Mac OS X" for more
information.
On the following page, scroll down to "File Choosing Dialogs":

IMHO Apple's current FileChooserUI implementation is not suited for real
use. I hope Apple will fix this in a future release. Until this happens, you
may want to give my Quaqua Look and Feel a try.
With kind regards,
