Description
Certain places in IGB use the operating system's native file chooser and some do not. One place that does not is the "Choose Local Folder" option under the Data Sources tab of IGB Preferences.
You can access IGB Preferences by hitting the gear icon in the IGB toolbar. From there you can access the Data Sources tab and then select "Add..." at the bottom of the tab. Then you can select "Choose Local Folder" (see screen shot)
Before beginning work on this story, I still need to track down other JIRA issues relating to this and possibly find related commits so the developer working on this issue can more easily work on this issue.

I have fixed this issue by changing JFileChooser to FileChooser which avails OS native file chooser.
To do so, I have created and added new file DirectoryFileChooser.java (based on FileChooser.java).
NOTE:
I didn't have any quickload local folder to test this fix. Even though 'open folder window' is displayed as expected, i couldn't test what happens after selecting any valid folder.
Also, this fix has not been tested on other OS like Linux or MacOS.
>>> I think, we should have some folder or example files (or at least soem documentation some where) for testing purpose for developers.
After testing this story I can confirm that the Choose Local Folder file chooser within the Data Sources tab of IGB Preferences has been changed to the operating system's native file chooser. This has been tested on Mac and Windows and is functioning as expected. Data Sources are being opened properly in IGB using the feature and there seem to be no side effects resulting from this change. Since this issue is resolved it will now be closed.
