This does not look like form output to me.


JDK version 1.0
 Win32
 The setLabel method of java.awt.MenuItem does not change the displayed
 text, the label reported by getLabel does change.

 In the Beta-1 AWT source which we licensed the setLabel method in the
 MenuItem Win32 peer is not implemented. I presume this remains the case
 in JDK-1.0 as the problem remains.

I added a test case:

import java.awt.*;

public class MenuLabel extends Frame{

    MenuItem mitem;

    public MenuLabel() {
super("Menu Label Test");

MenuBar mb = new MenuBar();
setMenuBar(mb);

Menu m = new Menu("File");
mb.add(m);
mitem = new MenuItem("Open");
m.add(mitem);
m.add("Change Label..");

pack();
show();
    }

    public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg) {
if (arg.equals("Change Label..")) {
mitem.setLabel("Save");
return true;
}
return false;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
new MenuLabel();
    }
}
