Not able to list content of a folder using keyboard in JFileChooser.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Install jdk1.6.0(b29) in windows testing system.
2.Launch JFileChooser demo (java -jar  <Drive>\jdk\1.6.0\latest\binaries\win\demo\jfc\FileChooserDemo\FileChooserDemo.jar
3.In "File and Directory Option" select "Select Files or Directories"
4.In select Windows L/F 
5.Click Show FileChooser button.
6.Select a folder which has sub folder or files in it using mouse
7.The selected folder name will appear in the "File name" text field 
8.If the folder name is "sun" then type "sun\*" and press Enter
9.The FileChooser should display the content of the sun folder.

but it is not happening, noting happens ,but in native windows when same scenario is repeated the content of the sun folder are listed.

Using this user can select folder/files with in the folder without using the mouse,this behavior is missing.

EVALUATION This is not the same problem described in CR 6207989. If used "dirname/*" we should change current directory to "dirname" and set filter to "*".

EVALUATION This is the same problem described in CR 6207989, although the suggested approach is different (typing foldername\* instead of Ctrl-Enter).
