Description dnarmitage 2007-11-10 12:27:25 UTC 
Using file chooser results in a huge delay (>10 minutes) and runs CPU at 100%.

This issue almost stopped me installing netbeans 6 beta 2, but perservered and was eventually able to isolate the 
cause as a very large zip file on my desktop (1.4g) which once removed caused file chooser to behave normally. I 
realise this is probably a Java bug but may be due to the implementation in Netbeans so reporting here.

The file in question was was reading the zip file for Sun Java Portal Server (ps71u1-windows.zip) that I had on my 
desktop. Once removed to another directory the file chooser behaved responsively. There appeared to be no problems 
with the zip file structure.

java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Yes, known bug in JDK. We decided to remove side bar that caused this, see duplicate 109703.
