In Jbuilder 3 how do you use the Inspector on a menuItem to assign an
accelerator?

For example, I want Ctrl+O keystroke to activate a File|Open menu item.

I know how to write the code:

menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
        KeyEvent.VK_O, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK));

But I want to do it automatically in the Inspector. The Inspector appears to
have an accelerator field for menuItem's but when I try to choose from the
drop list only "<none>" appears.

Thanks in advance...
