Ok, the problem is that Java has a file chooser of its own (the Swing
JFileChooser). This one is different from the native one, the operating
system provides.

Besides the fact that the Java file chooser has less features, it also
has performance problems on some systems. So as workaround I decided to
add an advanced option the JavE's preferences. It is available in this
integration build:
   http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_i20080525.zip

Choose the menu item "View" > "Preferences" and in "Advanced" select the
option "Use native file chooser dialog.". Then instead of the Java Swing
file chooser, the native file chooser will be used. This has some
consequences:

  - Advantages:
     - much faster
     - same functions and look&feel as in other applications
  - Disadvantages:
     - the filter combobox for file types always shows *.* instead of
       dedicated types actually supported
     - the dialog appears in the top left corner instead of centered to
       the application

Please check it out.
