FileChooser from ApplicationComponent

Hello Martin,

Please try using JOptionPane.getRootFrame().

MZ> Hi, trying to open IDEA's FileChooser from within an
MZ> ApplicationComponent for a one time initialization of my Plugin i.e.
MZ> when first run.
MZ>
MZ> FileChooser takes either a Project or a java.awt.component and since
MZ> I can't guarantee that a project is open i'd like to find the the
MZ> appropriate Component to pass into the FileChooser.
MZ>
MZ> I've tried code like:
MZ>
MZ>

 public void initComponent() {
MZ> Editor editor = (Editor)
MZ> DataManager.getInstance().getDataContext().getData(DataConstants.EDI
MZ> TOR);
MZ> Container parent = editor.getComponent().getParent(); // This is
MZ> not a java.awt.Component
MZ> FileChooserDescriptor fileChooserDescriptor = new
MZ> FileChooserDescriptor(true, true,true,true,true,true);
MZ> FileChooser fileChooser = FileChooser.chooseFiles((Component)
MZ> parent, fileChooserDescriptor);
MZ> }
MZ> ]]>

MZ>
MZ> But obviously this doesn't work; not sure where to go from here.
