1. Just using \JDK1.3demo\JFileChooserDemo\JFileChooserDemo.jar. When"open
Dialog" or "save Dialog" opened,I select one file named "1234" in List of D
ialog, then change "4321" in the Field "File name", select "metal" or "wind
ows" RadioButton. After click open or save button,I always get message "No
file was chosen"! if I use Motif UI, it's OK.

2. The source code is:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int retval = chooser.showDialog(frame, null);
if(retval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    File theFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
    if(theFile != null) {
      if(theFile.isDirectory()) {
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
           frame, "You chose this directory: " +
           chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath()
         );
    } else {
=09=09 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
=09=09=09frame, "You chose this file: " +
=09=09=09chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath()
=09=09 );
=09=09}
=09=09return;
=09 }
=09}
=09JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, "No file was chosen.");
    }

3. None.

4.None.

5.The output of the commands "java -version" is:
  java version "1.3beta"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3beta-O)
  Java*TM) HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3beta-O,mixed mode)

1.
Create a JFileChooser, call showSaveDialog().
getSelectedFile() returns null, if the file to save to does not yet exist.
Earlier versions of JDK return a valid filehandle.

2.
...
JFileChooser filechooser = new JFileChooser();
filechooser.rescanCurrentDirectory();
int returnVal = filechooser.showSaveDialog(this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
  File file = filechooser.getSelectedFile();
  System.out.println("filechooser.getSelectedFile()="+file);

  if (file != null) {
    someJComponent.setText(filechooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
  }
}
...

3.
Nullpointer exceptions occur, if getSelectedFile == null is not checked.

4.
  Works in JDK 1.2.x.

5.

JFileChooser is broken if we click a file and then change the filename
in the text area we can no longer say getSelectedFile it returns null.

JFileChooser jfc;
....
File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();

returns null even if a valid filename was entered in the
filename TextField.
This happens only if a file was first choosen from a list
and then manually changed in the TextField.

In JFileChooser save dialog, choose a file from the list and
then type in a different name in the bottom. After clicking save,
the getSelectedFile() call returns null.
