Summary: File choosers always start in home directory

Initial Comment:
In drjava-20030204-2304, the open file dialog always
starts in the home directory instead of the user's
current directory.

I know this was added as a feature, but I disagree with
the idea that this makes things easier.  On any Unix
system, it is very convenient to change to the source
directory of your project and start DrJava, having the
open file dialog in your current directory.  And on
Windows, the home directory is one level below the
desktop, which is a directory most users never see.  I
don't think starting in the home directory is easier
(or more intuitive) for either platform.

Comments are welcome.
