If we have to call `WindowsMenuItemUI.paintMenuItem` from `WindowsCheckBoxMenuItemUI`, `WindowsRadioButtonMenuItemUI`, `WindowsMenuUI ` then `paintMenuItem `has to be static in `WindowsMenuItemUI`
so `paintAccText ` called from `paintMenuItem` has to be static so even if we try to pass the parameters to `SwingUtilities3.paintAccText` from `WindowsMenuItemUI.paintAccText ` those parameters need to be static else we will be getting this kind of build error

error: non-static variable disabledForeground cannot be referenced from a static context
        SwingUtilities3.paintAccText(g, lh, lr, disabledForeground, acceleratorSelectionForeground, acceleratorForeground);
