JFileChooser question

I've a program in which i use a FileChooser to access a directory :

- when the current path argument passed to the JFileChooser constructor points to a directory that is local (C:/Temp) or on a mapped or a network drive (Y:/workarea) : no problem

- when i pass a path like this one : \\server.domain\workarea, the program hangs

I'm currently working on Windows XP Pro, the server is a file server from the MSFT network. The JDK i use is the 1.5.0.6

>(Y:/workarea) : no problem> when i pass a path like this one :> \\server.domain\workarea, the program hangsTry to use \\\\server.domain\\workarea. or //servrer.domain/workarea

In fact the path is saved in the Windows Registry, using the java.util.Preferences, at a node level as a key/value pair like this :

Key : workingDirectory

Value : /////G/V/A/S000/R/E/S07./C/H./N/E/T./I/N/T/R/A//boil02a$//workarea

In the program, after i get the value from the Registry, and i display it to stdout, i have:

\\GVAS000RES07.CH.NET.INTRA\boil02a$\workarea

Seems good no?
