I would agree that different dialogs for loading data from databases and from files is a good idea.
It seems like Paul put a lot of work into improving the way OpenJUMP loads files. Do we have reasons why Paul shouldn't commit? If we do, then we should put together a bullet list that we can discuss and Paul can address. It would be a shame to have his work go to waste. I am coming to this conversation late, so maybe the problem has already been solved. Please let me know if this is not the case.
