I'm developing a Java Swing app that attempts to set accelerator

I have other accelerator keys set as well, such as for a "New" file
(command-N).
When I run the program, the accelerator keys for cut, copy, and
paste do not work but the menu items for them do send events. The
other accelerator keys do work. And if I force the program to use
the metal LAF, all the accelerator keys work as expected.
Is there some trick to getting accelerator keys for cut, copy, and
paste to work with the Aqua LAF?

I figured out why this is happening. I noticed that the Xcode Java
Swing example program does basically the same thing my program is
doing. The real difference between the two is that the example from
Xcode has a JFrame with no children. On the other hand, my program
as a JScrollPane as a child, and that has a JTree as a child.
As it turns out, the JTree in the Aqua LAF has cut, copy, and paste
for command-X, command-C, and command-V in its parent InputMap. I
don't know why, they don't seem to do anything. This is probably not
the case for the Metal LAF.
...now to figure out a platform independent work around.
