A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
For a DefaultButtonModel, setMnemonic() generates a ChangeEvent even if the new value is the same as the old value (that is, nothing has changed). This is inconsistent with other methods in the same class, and throughout Swing. Please correct this, or document the behaviour.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run test app below.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Event triggered: true
Event triggered: false

ACTUAL -
Event triggered: true
Event triggered: true


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

    // clear the recorded event, set the same mnemonic then check if another
    // event is triggered...
