JFileChooser Win32

Question

Hello,
I have read about the startup time problem with JFileChooser. Also in my company many people say 'Swing is slow', because they know, that the filechooser is slow. And this results in the view, that those people change to SWT.
Because I know, that Swing is fast enough for all, I want to solve the filechooser problem. As found in the bug database (6372808), I add the following line to my install program:
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
This works fine for the zip file problem under windows.
But I have also watched, that the filechooser needs still 1-3 seconds to be opened. I have created a JNI for OS specific functions and added file selection into it. The user can select 'native dialogs' in my application properties and than the windows standard file dialog is used.
I hope, I can help a lot of people with this problem. If somebody is interested, send me an email.
Best regards,
Axel F

Figured it out, thanks to another post.
I added
player.stop():
to my playerClose() method.
Seems to work fine now.
//=======================================================
// Close player and deallocate
//=======================================================
public static void playerclose()
player.stop();
player.close();
player.deallocate();
}
