FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documentation regarding the getSelectedFile() and getSelectedFiles()methods in JFileChooser does not mention the fact that these methods return null if the selected file is a folder.

I have the Windows version of j2sdk1.4 and in this case, the methods above must return null when the user selects a folder because if I don't write my code to deal with null files, the program causes a NullPointerException.

The behavior of the JFile Chooser seems reasonable to me, but I think that the documentation should make this behavior explicit.


This bug can be reproduced always.
