I think the problem is in the ExitAction constuctor.

The UI Designer does not have any facility for editing ActionMaps.

I wasn't talking about editing ActionMaps. Did you actually read my post?
I think you have automatically answer without reading and understanding my
previous post.

What about this UI Designer error? I can't work normally in designer. If 
I add this code manually, designer keeps showing this errors and any
normal work is not possible.

:: What about this UI Designer error? I can't work normally in designer. If

java.lang.IllegalAccessException:
Class com.borland.jbuilder.cmt.jb.JbValue can not access a member of class
com.my_company.MyFrame with modifiers "public" new ExitAction("Exit",
exit_icon,this)

The error is thrown when the designer tries to access the ExitAction
contructor which in the code posted is named incorrectly, as it can not find
the construtor it throws the exception.

See my previous post with commented code.

Shouldn't this method be called ExitAction?

Yes, I apologize myself. I must have made this mistake while copying my
code.

It should be:

class ExitAction extends AbstractAction {
  JFrame holder;
  public ExitAction(String name,Icon icon,JFrame holder) {
    super(name,icon);
    this.holder=holder;
  }
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    holder.hide();
  }
}

But even so, my problem is still present. With the mistake I have made
before I couldn't even compile my example. I repeat, example is working.

Dalibor.

see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#hide()

public void hide()Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by
setVisible(boolean).

Yes, I always respond to posts without reading them.  I have found that
random answers are almost as effective as answers to the actual
question and they take so much less time.  :o)

Good luck solving your problem.

I had no problem with your example as long
as the "ExitAction" class was declared
in its own file as (_public_ for emphasis here):

   _public_ class ExitAction extends ... {
     ...
   }

The Designer only balks when you omit the _public_
modifier.

Again, I tested this out in JBuilder X and it does work.

I meant to write:

I've tested it in both JBuilder 9 and 10, and
it does work.

Yes it works. I tried to do this before and didn't work. Now I know why... I
didn't recompile my project. After recompiling whole project, I can connect
this Action with swing components.

Tnx a lot. Dalibor.
