FileDialog does not use Windows XP L&F

Question

Hi,
Just noticed that when using FileDialog, the buttons, combo boxes & icons along the top row are not displayed in the XP look & feel.
Here's some sample code to show the problem:
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            Class lafClass = Class.forName(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
            LookAndFeel laf = (LookAndFeel) lafClass.newInstance();
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(laf);
            final JFrame frame = new JFrame("FileDialog bug");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
            JButton b1 = new JButton("JFileChooser");
            b1.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                    JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser("C:\\");
                    jfc.showOpenDialog(frame);
            JButton b2 = new JButton("FileDialog");
            b2.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                    FileDialog fileChooser = new FileDialog(frame, "Choose file...", FileDialog.LOAD);
                    fileChooser.setVisible(true);
            frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 5, 5));
            frame.add(b1);
            frame.add(b2);
            frame.setSize(200, 75);
            frame.setVisible(true);
        catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
    }Can someone else please confirm whether or not they see the same problem? I'm JDK 1.5.0_02 under Windows XP SP2.
TIA,
James

If you want Windows XP L & F, you need to add
public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
          catch(Exception e) {
          Login app=new Login();
          app.setSize(400,200);
          app.show();
          app.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
               public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
     }//end of mainAdd in this section...
try {
               UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
          catch(Exception e) {
          }
