Description

For normal  customer  Windows applications, the cancel button has no mnemonic. This is because "cancel" is usually handled by the escape key as opposed to a mnemonic.
 Likewise, "OK" has no mnemonic because it is the default button and handled by the enter key.

I agree. The native Windows JFileChooser has no mnemonic. I recently turned down adding mnemonics to the JColorChooser's OK and Cancel buttons for the same reasons given in the description. These mnemonics should be removed from JFileChooser.

The cancel button in the JFileChooser when running on Windows has a mnemonic. You can't see it by default but it's there when you hold down the Alt key.  Native Windows apps don't have a mnemonic on the cancel button because the Escape key is always mapped to cancel on most any dialog.  To fix this I have added a line to the windows.properties which sets the cancel button mnemonic to -1, which will remove the mnemonic at runtime.
