Bug Description

Binary package hint: jabref

Hi,

jabref 2.5-1ubuntu1 on lucid, with OpenOffice plugin installed to /usr/share/java/plugins/.

if I try to do Tools->'Unpack EndNote filter set' as per the online docs to get access to the EndNote filters, a dialog pops up asking me for a place to put a .zip file, and a name for it (would be nice if a default name was preseeded in the file picker), when I press [Ok] the file picker dialog disappears and the following is printed to stderr:

{{{

thanks,
