A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have subclassed JPopupMenu and i would like to use it in
my rather large menu-trees. However, JMenu is hardcoded to
crate JPopupMenu's. The methods and jpopupMenu member is
private and it is therefore not possible to change this
behavior with subclassing.

JMenu should have the possibility to (in the constructor)
add a subclassed version of JPopupMenu instead. It should
at least be possible to overide the ensurePopupCreated()
method och member popupMenu.

This should not break backward compatibility and is very
easy to implement.


This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
none that I know of
