Hmm, so far it is as designed.

Alternatively we could make this process two step:

1. user can add sources (files or folders) to the project, in case of 
folders everything underneath belongs to the project too
2. when selecting files/folders for becoming java roots (any role) the 
presented filechooser would allow to browse only files/folders added in 
step #1

I am not sure about all consequences of this approach, but do you think 
it would be more appropriate?

Sure, thanks for your feedback.
