更改AbstractAction名称

Question

I have a JMenuItem bounded to an Action that I can get using item.getAction() . The action name is set when constructing the Action, eg using anonymous new AbstractAction(String text, ...) . The text field is set according to a ResourceBundle and localization information. Now if I want to change localization, I would like to change the Action.NAME field so that it displays the proper localized name. I can only get the name, eg using item.getAction().NAME but cannot change the field as it is final.

How could I change it's name?

Answer 1

The final field is actually the key for the name property of the action. Change the name property using putValue()

action.putValue(Action.NAME, newName);
