How to pass a KeyEvent to a JTextPane?

Question

Hi,
I have a JTextPane and I display a JPopupMenu on top of it. The menu implements a MenuKeyListener to catch typed text and filters the menu content based on the typed text.
I also need to insert the typed characters into the document in the underlying JTextPane. So, I have a KeyEvent (MenuKeyEvent actually) and I need to make the JTextPane to process it as if it was produced by the user, i.e. match it against the action map and do the document edit for me.
I tried to call the JTextPane.processKeyEvent(e) method but it doesn't work. Any hints?
Thanks a lot!

Well, I'm wondering if it isn't working because the event is already consumed?
Perhaps you can construct a duplicate KeyEvent and pass that along instead?
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained,
Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the
incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing
based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its
original formatting.
