Bug Description:

On windows, the accelerator text in a menu for ',' is "Comma". The accelerator text for '[' is "Open Bracket". This looks weird. However, this is not really overrideable.

In BasicMenuItemUI, the accelerator text is figured out *twice*, once in getPreferredMenuItemSize() and once in paintMenuItem(). If this was encapsulated in a method, [protected String getAcceleratorText(...)], then it could be easily overridden to return something different for these.

As it is now, this is deep within other methods and to override it would involve a lot of copying from BasicMenuItemUI. Also, the text comes from Toolkit.getProperty("AWT.comma", "Comma") in KeyEvent; also not easily overridden.

It seems that the best recourse is to never use any of these keys for accelerator keys since they don't look right in the menu.

I am surprised that no one else has had a problem with this. The only things like this I could find are mainly for JDK 1.2


Steps to Reproduce (be specific):

Create an AbstractAction with an ACCELERATOR_KEY and add it to a menuAcce
