Hi Clemens, It looks like nobody of the Swing team is answering that or they are busy working on Java 7. I asked the same question before on http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=30307 Scott Violet has said that they are working on improvements http://forums.java.net/jive/message.jspa?messageID=107109. I just wanted to make sure it will be included in Java 7. As you said adding the ability to call the native FileDialog is not straightforward and since I have no Win32 knowledge and no time now it's gonna be tough to do. I asked for that because I hate to say to the client that I cannot do that in a certain time because Java does not provide that, what impression will it give him? Another example is also that date picker. I know there's the date picker but it should be standard. If we want Swing to rock, the Swing team has to put the right time and effort to make Swing a first class citizen rich client development platform.
