Netbeans File Dialog Was Slow, Eclipse's 3.3 is fast but crashes... 📎
However I encounter some resproducable problems with Eclipse Europa. During the export of some plugins I had to navigate to the target folder. After several clicks the file dialog AND eclipse crashed completely. It happens every time. I already lost some unsaved changes, which wasn't very dramatic in my case, but it is good to know. The workaround is simple: I use now the windows explorer and "copy and paste" the path into Eclipse's file dialog and it works.
It seems like: regardless which IDE you are using, you shouldn't use the file dialogs on windows :-).
