Re: [JPP-Devel] [Fwd: [jump-pilot - OpenJUMP Installation Problems] open jump exception: can start the program]

[Sunburned S. <sun...@gm...>]

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?
