Jeremy,
Most look and feels put their resource bundles into the UIManager, and get
the labels using UIManager.getString().
For a list of available properties, take a look at the resource bundle used
by BasicLookAndFeel. The name of the resource bundle is:
com.sun.swing.internal.plaf.basic.resources.basic
You can use UIManager.put to replace a string. The BasicLookAndFeel does not
have a choose button text. So, I just blindly tried the following, and it
appeared to be working:
UIManager.put("FileChooser.chooseButtonText","Elija");
Of course, this is just a work around, which might break at any time with a
future release of the JVM.
I suggest, that you do file a bug report for this issue with Apple. This is
the only way to get this solved reliably.
With kind regards,
Werner Randelshofer
