problem creating "Index Collection Descriptor File"

[Philip Ogren]

I have three related questions that I decided to split up into three 
messages.  I composed them as one email initially and decided I could be 
spawning a hard-to-traverse thread.  Advanced apologies for the inundation.

I am trying to create an "Index Collection Descriptor File" so that I 
can have my index definitions in one place and unable to do so.  I 
dialog comes up requesting a type system descriptor file as a context 
for the descriptor file.  When I specify my type system descriptor file 
and click ok/finish the component descriptor editor gives me an error 
message and a details button.  When I click on the the details button I 
get:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.File

Am I doing something wrong or is this functionality broken?

Thanks,
