+1 for this patch. (Thanks, Petr!) I have tried it in the latest jdk8 (b91)
and it fixes both of the SWT+OpenJDK7&8 bugs that I submitted in the
Eclipse bugzilla. Would be great if this could be accepted at least for
jdk8 (if not jdk7u too).
Cheers,
Nick

As someone with a Java app in the Mac App Store (MAS), I would like to vote
against this change.
It is still important to know the user's actual home directory
(/Users/) even if the app is running in the sandbox. Using the
entitlement, com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write, we can

If you're saying that NSHomeDirectory is the correct behaviour for the Java
user.home property, then I have to disagree. On every other platform,
including non-sandboxed Mac, user.home is the actual user's home directory
(i.e. /home/ or /Users/ or C:\Users\). Setting user.home

I use user.home to do things like:
String userHomePath = System.getProperty("user.home"**);
myFileDialog.setDirectory(**userHomePath + "/Documents");
In my app, the user selects where he wants to export individual files, such
as CSVs and PDFs. These are files he'll use outside of my app.

Ok, I've tried this out with my app in the sandbox. I can confirm that
opening a file dialog (NSSavePanel underneath), with a directory pointing
to the Container's Documents directory
(/Users/nick/Library/Containers/my.app/Data/Documents), will show the
standard Mac file selection dialog with the s
