Bug Description:
  javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.isFileSystem(File)
  answers false for the ShellFolder "Eigene Dateien", which
  is "My Documents" in english. Since this folder is a true file system
  folder, an answer of true is expected instead.

Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
  Open the JDK FileChooserDemo on Windows. Then
  choose to "select a directory" and open a Windows
  file chooser. One can't select folder "Eigene Dateien"
  ("My Documents" in english), instead it just navigates through
  the directory and lists out the subdirectories.

----------------------------------

To test this on Windows:

1. Start FileChooserDemo

2. Click "Just Select Directories"

3. Click "Show FileChooser"

4. Make sure "My Documents" is selected (typically
   the default). This fails on 1.4.

5. Click Ok.

6. Verify that the message box says you selected the
   full path to the folder (varies by OS).


Repeat test for the desktop folder instead of "My Documents"

EVALUATION The "My Documents" folder is special because it is both a system shell folder and a directory. It is possible to fix this by adding a lot of special case tests in the JFileChooser code, but it is too risky to introduce this much change to the logic in merlin at this time. ###@###.### 2001-09-25
