Here is the source:
    /** Returns whether or not the key in this event is an "action" key,

    public boolean isActionKey() {
        switch (keyCode) {
          case VK_HOME:
          // skipped ...
          case VK_NONCONVERT:
          // skipped ...
          case VK_STOP:
              return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

The spec says that key is an action key if it is defined to be action key in java.awt.Event spec.
However, several keys (e.g. VK_NONCONVERT) for which isActionKey() of 1.2beta4 returns true
are not described in java.awt.Event spec.

java.awt.event.KeyEvent.isActionKey() of jdk1.2beta4F is not compatible with the one of jdk1.2beta3.

This causes jck1.2beta2 test faulure:
api/java_awt/Event/KeyEvent/manual.html#KeyEvent

The test assumes VK_NONCONVERT to be non-action key
(in accord with both the spec and beta3 implementation).

The spec should be updated according to beta4 changes.
