Key-enable buttons on a JOptionPane

Question

Hi,
The existing code in my Application uses a JOptionPane static method = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog() to create a dialog box.Is there any way I can key-enable the buttons on the dialog created by this method.
public int createAndShowGUI() {
if (!issuesPanel.hasIssues())
return -2; //TODO make constant
else {
//Custom button text
String[] options = should_continue ? new String[] {returnText, continueText} : new String[] {returnText};
int optionButtons = should_continue ? JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION : JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION ;
log.info("IssuesOptionPane displayed - " + title);
int optionChosen = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(parent,
issuesPanel.createAndGetIssuesPanel(),
title,
optionButtons,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
null, //don't use a custom icon
options, //titles of buttons
null); //no default selected button
String buttontext = optionChosen == CLOSE ? "X" : options[optionChosen];
log.info("User clicked on the " + buttontext + " button");
return optionChosen;
I see that there is no way to get a handle on the JButtons created by the JOptionPane.So, one work around that I tried is to create a JPanel, add JButtons , set Input Map, set Action Map ( to add key bindings ) on it.Then create a JDialog and pass this JPanel to the dialog using setContentPane
     private static void createAndShowGUI(){
          JButton bookingButton=new JButton(bookStr);
          JButton returnButton=new JButton(returnStr);
          bookingButton.addActionListener(new BookAction());
          returnButton.addActionListener(new ReturnAction());
          JPanel panel=new JPanel();
          panel.add(bookingButton);
          panel.add(returnButton);
          panel.setActionMap(initActionMap());
          initAndSetInputMap(panel);
          JDialog dialog=new JDialog();
          dialog.setSize(400,100);
          dialog.setModal(true);
          dialog.setContentPane(panel);
          dialog.addPropertyChangeListener(indicator,listener);
          System.out.println("step 1" );
          dialog.pack();
          System.out.println("step 2");
          dialog.setVisible(true);
But the problem that I am facing here is that the property change events triggered by the code inside the actionPerformed methods is not getting capturesd by the listener attached to the JDialog.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Aman
