JFileChooser deadlock
Showing a JFileChooser from a non-event dispatch thread caused a deadlock.
When a JFileChooser is called from a non-event dispatch thread, the call is redirected to the proper thread.
Note: Calling a JFileChooser from a non-event dispatch thread is thread unsafe and is advised against by Sun guidelines. This circumstance is taken into account in J2SE Release 4 since it is very common. Despite this, it is recommended that you originate calls to a JFileChooser on an event dispatch thread.
