FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
jdk1.4.1_01 and later version upto current build18.

FULL OS VERSION :
Win2000 [5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
For FileDialog(), one can initialize the title through FileDialog(..,String title). However, we don't want to do in that way because of the locolization issue. The other way to set up "Open" or "Save As" as a title is aFileDialog.setMode, then JVM auto set up the "Open" or "Save As" as the title of the FileDialog. For JDK 1.3 and early version, it works fine. However, from JDK 1.4.1_01 and later, the title become empty.
Please see the following code for detail.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile my source code, then use different version JDK. We will find the problem.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The title of the FileDialog has been auto-initialized as "Open" or "Save As" based on the fileDialog.setMode(), 0 for LOAD, 1 for Save As.
Empty String in the title field

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.*;

public class DisplayFileDialog {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Frame f = new Frame();
    FileDialog d = new FileDialog(f);
    d.setMode(0);
    d.setVisible(true);
    String selectedItem = d.getFile();
    if (selectedItem == null)
      selectedItem = "No file selection.";
    System.out.println("You selected: " + selectedItem);
    f.dispose();
    System.exit(0);
  }
}

Try the following:
../jdk1.2.2/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> Fine with the title: "Open".
../jdk1.3.1/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> Fine with the title: "Open".
../jdk1.3.1/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> No good, without the title: "Open".
../jdk1.4.1_01/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> No good, without the title: "Open".
../jdk1.4.1_02/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> No good, without the title: "Open".
../jdk1.4.1_build12/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> No good, without the title: "Open".

../jdk1.4.1_build18/bin/java DisplayFileDialog --> No good, without the title: "Open".

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
See the previous JDK FileDialog class, how to set up the title based on the FileDialog.setMode().

Release Regression From : 1.3.1_09

bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
