      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      When using FileOpenService and FileSaveService, I pass in a list of extensions that it should show in the file dialog by default. The Java Web Start implementation ignores these; it always lists All Files.

      The JNLP spec says that this might happen, but this implementation should do better than that, and actually pay attention to the list of extensions.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      My users are trying to open files that my app doesn't support and getting errors. And they're saving files with random extensions, leading to further errors.
