When calling setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(true) in a JFileChooser, the current
used filter switches to the acceptallfilter, but this behaviour is not
documented.

This is illustrated in the example below (exchanging line 1 & 2 changes the
behaviour of the program).

  Suggested fix:
  - Document this fact
  - Change behaviour

import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter filter = new FooFilter();
fileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);

fileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(true); // line 1
fileChooser.setFileFilter(filter); // line 2
// exchanging line 1 and line 2 changes behaviour
fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null);
    }

}

class FooFilter extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter {
    public boolean accept(File f) {
return true;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
return "Foo Filters nothing";
    }
}
