dev build from Jun 16, JDK1.5.0b55, GTK L&F, Linux fedora core 2 While opening project I clicked on '../' item in file chooser several times to navigate to root folder. If I do it again in root an exception is thrown.
Created attachment 15750 [details] stack trace
Sorry, but I can't do nothing with it. From my point of view "/.." is real nonsense. Moreover "/..".exists () returns true. There is possible either file issue against JDK team or do some special checks (ProjectChooserAccessory seems to be suitable candidate). There is no problem with metal L&F. Reassigned for next evaluation.
On metal L&F the button for going to parent directory is disabled in root folder. Unfortunately on GTK there is ../ item that can be double clicked (there are .. if you do 'ls -a /' in shell too).
