I'm trying to create a file dialog with the following code:

Frame f = new Frame("FileDialog");
FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(f, "FileDialog"); 
fd.show();

For some reason I get the following:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm running the JDK Beta 2 under Solaris 2.4. Any help would be appreciated.
