the issues that stay are when users want to understand error message 
from the compiler
(I don"t know if the compiler will print the j.u.f.Action when full 
diagnostic message will be turn of ?)

And users that want to use a lambda as an action (AbstractAction is 
abstract so you need to use delegation).
    jx.s.Action createAction(j.u.f.Action<ActionEvent> action) {
       return new AbstractAction() {
         public void accept(ActionEvent event) {
             return action.accept(event);
         }
       };
    }

but this one can be solved by adding this method in swing.
