EventHandler - Basic usage question

Question

Hi,
I have a very simple question (so it seems) about java.beans.EventHandler
How does it work???
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.beans.*;
class TestGUI extends JFrame {
    TestGUI() {
         JButton b = new JButton("Press");
         getContentPane().add(b);
         b.addActionListener((ActionListener)
              EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, this, "test")
        pack();
        show();
    public void test() {
         System.out.println("Ok!");
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestGUI().setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}It won't find the "test" method, and throws an exception (an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, interestingly, but that is just a bug on EventHandler part) . What am I missing? I've searched the forums and seen quite many posts with about the same question - but without replies.
Thanks

That is rather interseting, I guess. I used this code, and everything worked fine. I really don't see a difference 'tween what I did and what you did...:
public class EHTest extends JFrame
     EHTest()
          super("EHTest");
          JPanel left = new JPanel();
          left.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,0));
          JButton[] buttons = new JButton[6];
          for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
               buttons[i] = new JButton("Button: "+i);
               buttons.addActionListener((ActionListener)
                              EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, this, "doSomething"));
               left.add(buttons[i]);
          setContentPane(left);
          pack();
          setVisible(true);
     public void doSomething()
          System.out.println("Something");
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new EHTest();
