JDK : JDK1.5.0-b12, JDK1.5.0-b11
                  (not reproducible with JDK1.4.2-b28)
JCK : JCK1.5-runtime (b02), JCK1.4a-runtime
Platform[s] : Windows 98
switch/Mode : default
JCK test owner : http://javaweb.eng/jck/usr/owners.jto

It is impossible to create JFileChooser object with JDK1.5.0-b12 on
Windows 98 because javax.swing.JFileChooser() constructor throws
unexpected java.lang.InternalError.

Please, note that this bug is not reproducible with previous JDKs
(JDK1.4.2, for example).

I am not able to reproduce the failure on other Windows systems.

Please, compile and run the following test example to reproduce the failure:
--------- test.java ---------
import javax.swing.*;
public class test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      (new JFileChooser()).showOpenDialog(new JFrame());
      System.out.println("OK!");
   }
}
