AbstactAction innner class

Question

I need help with an AbstactAction innner class. I want to set a flag to indicate whether a JMenuItem has been accessed. Since I don't know how many "labels" there will be, I'm creating the JMenuItems and their AbstractActions in a loop. The problem is referencing the loop index "i" inside the inner class. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Error:
local variable i is accessed from within inner class; needs to be declared final
Code snipet:
for(int i=0; i<labels.length; i++) {
  final String item = labels&#091;i&#093;
    menuItems&#091;i&#093; = loadMenu.add(new
      AbstractAction(item) {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
          // load the item...
          // here's the problem:
          isBundleLoaded&#091;i&#093; = true; // *** error

Answer 1

for(int i=0; i<labels.length; i++) {
  final String item = labels;
final index = i;
menuItems[i] = loadMenu.add(new
AbstractAction(item) {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
// load the item...
// here's the problem:
isBundleLoaded[index] = true;
