Description ebakke 2013-08-12 02:06:58 UTC 
According to the Javadoc for javax.swing.Action, org.openide.awt.GeneralAction.DelegateAction.putValue() should notify subscribed PropertyChangeListeners whenever a value is changed. This is not currently done; see the implementation of putValue() in the superclass GeneralAction.BaseDelAction.

One example of a problem that results from this is that clients can not reliably listen for changes to the Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY property on an Action using a PropertyChangeListener. If AcceleratorBinding.setAccelerator() is called on an Action, NbKeymap.keyStrokeForAction() will ensure that Action.putValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY, keystroke) is always called whenever the keybinding is changed. Listening for such a change currently works only on non-lazily loaded actions, however, due to the bug described above.
