A JButton is created with the text "Run". I'm expecting the ActionEvent.getActionCommand() to return this text. Instead it is returning null :

java.awt.event.ActionEvent[ACTION_PERFORMED,cmd=null] on com.sun.java.swing.JButton[,7,7,66x58,layout=com.sun.java.swing.OverlayLayout]

To reproduce run the Java2D demo at :

/usr/local/java/jdk1.2fcs/solaris/demo/jfc/Java2D

Select the Options menu and the Run Window menuitem. And then select the Run button. Nothing happens because e.getActionCommand() returns null.

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getActionCommand() == "Run") {
            runB.setText("Stop");
            runB.setBackground(Color.red);
            start();
        } else if (e.getActionCommand() == "Stop") {
            stop();
        }
    }
