 Hi,

strange but true. JLabelBeanInfo in <jdk>/lib/dt.jar does not list
displayedMnemonic as a property for JLabel. The IDE relies on BeanInfos
to get information about beans. In this case I think JLabelBeanInfo is
wrong. We can probably hack around it in the IDE, but I suggest you
rather go to the Java Developer Connection site and file a bug against
the JDK

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

1. Execute the source code in 2.

2.
Class beanInfoClass =
            Class.forName("javax.swing.JLabelBeanInfo");
SwingBeanInfo sbi = (SwingBeanInfo) beanInfoClass.newInstance();
PropertyDescriptor[] pdescSeq = sbi.getPropertyDescriptors();
for ( int ix = 0; ix < pdescSeq.length; ix++ ) {
    System.out.println(pdescSeq[ix].getName());
}

4. The code snippet in 2. outputs the following:
labelFor

UIClassID
iconTextGap
accessibleContext
