Getting the name of a menu from the menu item

Question

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to get the name of the menu that a particular menu item is classified under, and thus far I can't figure out how. Can anyone give me a hand with this, please? I have a SSCCE that describes my efforts so far:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JPopupMenu;
public class MenuTester {
     public MenuTester() {
          JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem( "zzz" );
          item.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                    System.out.println( ((JPopupMenu)((JMenuItem)e.getSource()).getParent()).getLabel() );
                    System.out.println( ((JPopupMenu)((JMenuItem)e.getSource()).getParent()).getName() );
          JMenu menu = new JMenu( "test" );
                menu.setName( "test" );
          menu.add( item );
          JMenuBar bar = new JMenuBar();
          bar.add( menu );
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setJMenuBar( bar );
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.setSize( 300, 300 );
          frame.setVisible( true );
     public static void main( String args[] ) { new MenuTester(); }
}I've tried the JPopupMenu method getLabel, and the generic Component method getName, but neither of them seem to work, even when I explicitly set the name. The result of both calls is "null", not "test" as it should be. There must be something small that I'm missing, but I'm not sure what, can anyone please tell me what it is?
Thanks,

JMenuItem mi = (JMenuItem)e.getSource();
JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu)mi.getParent();
JMenu menu = (JMenu)popup.getInvoker();
System.out.println( menu.getText() );
