Subject: java.awt.MenuItem bug (?)
MIME-Version: 1.0

I am trying to use the setActionCommand method on java.awt.MenuItem, but
the ActionEvents that get generated still have the original action command
string of the MenuItem's title string instead of what I pass in as the
setActionCommand's argument.

My code is very simple:

mi = new MenuItem(m_aMsgMgrInfo[i].sItemLabel);
mi.setActionCommand("Hey you!!!"); // Integer.toString(i));
mi.addActionListener(this);

Later, I print out the ActionEvent's command string, and it contains the
label, NOT "Hey you!!!" as I would expect.

I think this is a bug, but I'm not certain.

Sincerely,
