[recent dirchooser module, recent IDE build, Linux, Metal L&F, Ocean Theme] After installation of the dirchooser module and trying to "Open Project", the attached NullPointerException is thrown. Seems than no File Chooser can be opened in the IDE while the dirchooser module is installed.
Created attachment 35721 [details] NullPointerException.
JDK: 1.5.0_09-b03
I guess duplicate of JDK bug : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6210674
No, it's not JDK bug, it's dirchooser's. Dirchooser uses some special Win OS specific image bar and shouln't be using it on other OSs. Marking as task no not pollute our bugs now, as it's not part of standard build.
Null pointer is no longer thrown on Linux. I am assuming that it will also work on Solaris.
