<Swing Dev> [14] RFR 8225505: ctrl-F1 does not show the tooltip of a menu item (JMenuItems)

[Dmitry Markov]

Hi Sergey,

I looked into your suggestion again and found that it is possible to use MenuKeyListener inside ToolTipManager without new event generation. So I updated the fix based on your recommendation. Please find the new version here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dmarkov/8225505/webrev.02/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dmarkov/8225505/webrev.02/>

Thanks,
Dmitry

We cannot sent keyEvents since we never do it before, and it will be good not to sent new MenuKeyEvent. Are you sure that an existed MenuKeyEvent event does not have enough information?(It has the component, path and current MenuSelectionManager).
