JDK-4723745 - 1.4 REGRESSION: Metal & Windows FileChooserUI classes cannot be used without She
Description

Name: boT120536			Date: 08/17/2001


"1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)


In Swing 1.1, Java 1.2 and Java 1.3 the JFileChooser class could be used to
pick files from user defined file systems. In particular I, along with many
others judging from your bug parade and Discussion Forum, have used it to
display file names from a file system on a different machine, connected via
RMI. Because WindowsFileChooserUI calls ShellFolder directly, rather than going
through the user supplied FileSystemView, it is no longer possible to use
JFileChooser in this way.
I have not supplied a working example program because it would require both a
server and a client application, and the one I have has 310 modules in it.
Anyway, in view of the changes in FileSystemView in 1.4 and the comments in the
documentation (from jeff), I would like some statement as to whether this is a
bug or should I in future write my own file chooser.

EVALUATION The WindowsFileChooserUI and MetalFileChooserUI classes now only call the ShellFolder class if FileSystemView.getRoots() returns the Desktop folder on Windows. ###@###.### 2001-08-21
