<Swing Dev> <AWT Dev> JFileChooser: Nullpointer navigating shortcut folder on Windows

[Pavel Porvatov]

Hi Christiaan,

The fix of the bug is here:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/rev/c06c491eff67

I take a look at jdk8 sources and I see that the fix exists in the 
sources...  Is this bug reproducible on jdk8?

Regards, Pavel
