A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Accidently typed *.*) into the file chooser and an exception
was thrown. This behavior can be seen in the shipped
MetalWorks demo jar file

NOTE: Tried this on Linux also and it did not throw an exception

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Start MetalWorks demo shipped with JDK
2. Open file
3. Type *.*) as the file
4. See the caught regexp exception (this should be handled
silently)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
No exception thrown to user
(This is the behavior on Linux)
