I think it's time for some code here. :)
The following line displays a question mark in the menu, but without the
menu shortcut. The action event is fired if yout type a "?".
helpItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(new Character('?'), 0));
If you try to add the menu shortcut key mask the menu item is displayed
properly, but the action event isn't fired any more (with German keyboard):
helpItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(new Character('?'),
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask()));
