Class ActionSupportForJDK5

java.lang.Object
com.jidesoft.utils.ActionSupportForJDK5
public class ActionSupportForJDK5 extends Object
In JDK6, Swing adds three new properties on Action class: SELECTED_KEY, DISPLAYED_MNEMONIC_INDEX_KEY and LARGE_ICON. You can find more information at http://weblogs.java.net/blog/zixle/archive/2005/11/changes_to_acti.html

However, for users who are still using JDK5, you are out of luck. In this class, we provide a simple way to use those new properties on JDK5.

First of all, you need to call this method. 

 Action action = new AbstractAction("Text") {...};
 JButton button = new JButton(action);
 ActionSupportForJDK5.install(button);

When you about to change the selected state of action, you call ActionSupportForJDK5.setActionSelected(action, selected). The selected value could be true or false. This call will automatically make the button selected or not selected.

There are also setDisplayedMnemonicIndex and setLargeIcon methods on ActionSupportForJDK5 to the other two new properties.

Last but not least, if you don't use the button anymore, it is a good practice to call ActionSupportForJDK5.uninstall to remove the installed listeners.
