/** Demonstrate a bug in {@link javax.swing.JFileChooser}.
 ** <p>
 ** Run the class below in a directory other than the user's home.
 ** The {@link File_Filter#accept} method prints its activity
 ** to {@link System#out} to document the strange behavior.
 ** <p>
 ** A JFileChooser is created with no argument, which should
 ** set the chooser's current directory to the user's home.
 ** The selected file is set to some file in some other
 ** directory.
 ** <p>
 ** 2 [Basic L&F File Loading Thread]s are
 ** created, so that {@link File_Filter#accept} is called
 ** twice on on each file in the selected file's directory.
 ** Even stranger, after the dialog is dismissed, the program
 ** waits for a minute, then starts 2 or more
 ** [Basic L&F File Loading Thread]s
 ** calling {@link File_Filter#accept} on every file in the user's
 ** home directory. Since the user's 'home' is often C:\WINDOWS,
 ** or on a remote server, this can be a fairly lengthy computation.
 ** In a more realistic setting, where the filechooser is just
 ** part of a larger interface, the responsiveness of interaction
 ** suffers.
 ** <p>
 ** It appears that under some JVMs (eg Comapq's Fast JVM for
 ** the alpha architecture and OSF1) the multiple file loading
 ** threads causes a deadlock. However, I haven't been able to
 ** come up with a simple example that shows this.
