I can certainly file a bug but I wonder if there is a solution.
AFAIK the only way to make the JFileChooser sandbox-proof would be to
use internally an NSOpenPanel but the whole point of the JFileChooser
is to be a lightweight component, as opposed to FileDialog.

I wish too that the priority of the FileDialog RFE could be elevated
or that at least 7161437 could be fixed first.

Best,
Marco
