hello
openjump (1.2F / 1.3) installation is ok but i cannot run the program: when
I launch openjump I have this runtime exception and exit:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Could not get shell folder
ID list
at sun.awt.shell.WtFin32ShellFolderManager2$ComInvoker.invoke(Unknown Source)
.......
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Could not get shell folder ID list
at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.getFileSystemPath0(Native Method)
.....
this happens to me when i use a modded Windows Xp but not when i install the
program on a standard Xp.
I found this thread about the problem:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6544857
few days ago has been found a workaround
bye
thats the first report about this. let's wait if there are more people with this problem, before fixing it.
Here is some additional information I want to add to this bug. It looks like the bug may result when using JFileChooser on some hardware configurations:
The thread posted by the user has an interesting way to fix this problem:
"We successfully implemented a full workaround by:
- always extending JFileChooser, overriding setup(), and first thing,
disabling shell folders using the client property
"FileChooser.useShellFolder" before the first call to setUI
- before instantiating, using reflection to replace
ShellFolder.shellFolderManager (by default Win32ShellFolderManager2)
with a generic instance of ShellFolderManager itself.
Furthermore, we construct JFileChoosers in two attempts. The first is
without the above fix; if this fails, and the exception contains the
text "ShellFolder" (etc.), we activate the above fixes and try again.
This means users without the problem see the proper file chooser;
users with the problem see the Java 1.3 file chooser (with drive
letters as roots) and no crashes."
It seems this is a problem with the JRE/JDK on Windows XP with certain
hardware configurations. It looks like the bug is in the JFileChooser.
I don't if we need to implement the above fix in all the places that
OJ uses the JFileChooser. What do you guys think?
Here is the link to the full thread again:

Supposed to be fixed in java 6u18(b04) (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6544857), so that there is very little chance that a workaround be implemented in OpenJUMP
Two years since it was supposed to be fixed in Java. Time for closing the bug now?
I close it as it seems outdated now
