You are right, it sounds a bit like nitpicking. But be positive: How about filing a bug report?. You know Java is open source and GPL since late 2006. With OpenJDK 7 being the Java 7 reference implementation, many if not all bugfixes end up both on the freeware JRE/JDK and OpenJDK as well. I´m telling you this because one issue that you mention (file requesters) is finally fixed in OpenJDK 7, as mentioned here: gtkjfilechooser A prettier JFileChooser for Swing's GTK look and feel http://code.google.com/p/gtkjfilechooser/ "I solved the problem contributing to the JDK 7: The java.awt.FileDialog uses now native GTK file chooser on linux distros " ...so hopefully things can only improve moving forward...
