<AWT Dev> 6705345: Enable multiple file selection in AWT FileDialog: also for the new GtkFileDialogPeer.

[Costantino Cerbo]

Hi Anthony,

here is the new patch for the bug 6913179 (FileDialog should use
native GTK file chooser on linux distros).

There are the most relevant changes:
  1. Dynamic link to libgthread-2.0.so.0 instead of libgthread-2.0.so
  2. GTK multithread support (gdk_threads_enter() and
gdk_threads_leave() as outlined by Damjan)
  3. New Thread to don't block the EDT
  4. Support for multiple file selection (bugs 6705345)

I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Okay, but meanwhile we can open an issue for this feature in the Sun
bug database, what do you think about?


Best regards,
