Re: JPopupMenus don't highlight selected menu items

Hi Rib,

Subclassing of concrete UI classes does not work well. I've found that these
classes often declare too much variables and methods as private.

I copied the code for my MenuItemUI from the source of MetalMenuItemUI,
which is a subclass of BasicMenuItemUI.

The advantage of this approach is, that I can use it to fix problems in JDK
1.3.1 as well. Apart from fixing the problem with the highlighting I also
fixed the font of the accelerator text (which was wrong in 1.3.1 and was off
by 1 pixel from the regular menu text), and I also made the menu render the
accelerator using the proper Macintosh symbols (Place of interest sign
instead of "Meta", Option symbol instead of "Alt", and so on.).

Contact me if you want these classes.
