using netbeans-trunk-nightly-200710221200-javaee and a clean userdir, i start netbeans and I open the "Open Project" dialog, and it takes more than two minutes to show up. after it finally appears on the scree, i click on the "My Computer" icon which is on the left side of the dialog and it takes another minute to show the contents of My Computer. I also tried to open the filechooser dialog from other places in Netbeans and it has the same behavior. I am attaching the netbeans log file and marking as P1 because it is really unbearable and frustrating to work with the file chooser anywhere in NetBeans.

i just updated the JDK to 1.6.0_03-b05 and it is still as slow as before. I also tried it on an older machine that i have, with an older JDK 1.6.0-b105, and on this one the file chooser works just fine even though it is a slower machine. HTH
It looks like the same problem with large zip file in the directory, see : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5050516 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6578753 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 109703 ***
I don't think this is related to zip files because after taking two minutes, the file chooser opens with the directory C:\Documents and Settings\my username\My Documents\NetBeansProjects which contains couple of Netbeans projects (about 5 projects) and no zip files at all. also when i click on My Computer, it brings up the drives on my machine (after a long wait) and there are no zip files or any files there either.... just a list of drives.
Unfortunately this is pure JDK/Swing problem and we *can't* do more about it then we did. Problem usually appears when there is a number of large zip files on user's desktop or in the traversed directory. Please read the whole story on given links and sorry we can't do more.
