//Consider the following code :

import java.awt.* ;
import java.awt.event.* ;

public class Bug extends Frame implements ActionListener
{
private PopupMenu mnuPop ;
private Button btn ;
public Bug ()
{
super ("PopupMenu bug") ;
Menu mnu ;
mnuPop = new PopupMenu () ;
mnu = new Menu ("1st SubMenu") ;
mnu.add (new MenuItem ("1st MenuItem")) ;
mnu.add (new MenuItem ("2nd MenuItem")) ;
mnu.add (new MenuItem ("3rd MenuItem")) ;
mnuPop.add (mnu) ;
add (btn = new Button("Nix"),BorderLayout.CENTER) ;
btn.addActionListener (this) ;
btn.add (mnuPop) ;
setSize (100, 100) ;
show () ;
}

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent ae)
{
mnuPop.show (btn, 0, 0) ;

/* this should display a menu with the proper text in all menus and menuitems. Instead, I get a menu made of buttons, and all buttons have the same caption, i.e "Nix". I'm getting

+--------+--------+ +---------------+--------------+
| Nix >| Nix | | 1st SubMenu >| 1st MenuItem |
+--------+--------+ +---------------+--------------+
         | Nix | instead of | 2nd MenuItem |
         +--------+ +--------------+
         | Nix | | 3rd MenuItem |
         +--------+ +--------------+
.
If, on the other hand, I add the menu to the frame itself, without creating the button and adding a MouseListener which will show the menu on mousePressed, it works fine.
*/
}

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

}
/* Conclusion : I guess 'PopupMenu'-s weren't meant to be added to buttons ... */
