                    To reproduce:
- unzip the attached NB project (TestFileChooser.zip)
- setup FX JAR and *choose JDK7 platform* (create one if needed)
- run
-> a sample app shows up (see TestFileChooser.png)
- click on Choose File button
-> a FileChooser window pops up
- choose the "Vacances à Sydney.txt" file near TestFileChooser.java
-> File.getAbsolutePath() and File.toURI() are displayed and look correct
-> however File.exists() returns false
-> see TestFileChooser2.png
With MacOS + JDK6, the issue does not occur.
