[news.eclipse.platform.swt] DirectoryDialog doesn't return complete path under Linux

Hi,

it appears that under Linux, DirectoryDialog.open() returns only the name of the selected directory, not the absolute path, in contrast to what the documentation says. The same statement works correctly under Windows and MacOS.

Is this a known bug or should I write a bug report? Does anybody know a workaround?

Bernd
