I am trying to get a Folder Chooser preferably using the AWT file
chooser because the Swing File Chooser is just horrible. Is there any
hidden option to get the AWT FileChooser to select only folders?

Yes. Set the system property apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories to true just
before showing the dialog, and then reset it.

FileDialog d = new FileDialog(parent, title, FileDialog.LOAD);
String prop = "apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories";
System.setProperty(prop, "true");
d.show();
System.setProperty(prop, "false");

Personally I subclassed FileDialog and do the gymnastic above in the overriden
show() method.
