CVS as of a day or two ago.

I apologize; I thought that the fileTextField of JFileChooser (in the Metal
plaf) had an action listener (as it should), but I looked more closely and
it doesn't. When I added it, the action event was indeed fired.

(In passing, I had read the code that you referred to; I simply didn't
know enough about the way keymaps were installed to recognize it as such.)

What's strange is that JFormattedTextField, which inherits from JTextField,
doesn't fire the action event... Oh, I see, it specifically overrides the
action map. Is it correct that JFormattedTextField's getActions() just
returns null, rather than invoking its super-class, or at least providing
the same action for the enter key?
