Swing jdk1.4 is a buggy release !!!

Question

Hi Gurus !!!
I'm wondering if anyone in the forums could solve this problem:
I have a JDialog class with a swing textfield added with an ActionListener (JDK_1.4.2_04). When I press down the Enter Key, actionEvent is continuously being fired while the ENTER key is down !!!!. this BAD behaviour occurs also when the user clicks on a button repeadetely !!! . I've been working for 2 days trying to solve it with no luck. In jdk1.3.1 release the behaviour is what I expected but I connot switch back to solve it.
Has anybody in the forums solved this ?????????????
I noticed that if I register an action with keystroke KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F1,0,true); released the behaviour is correct, But how can I replace the default swing actions ?
Here's the code to test: (I found it in another post in the forum but the solution did'nt appeared )
public class SimpleDialog extends JDialog implements java.awt.event.ActionListener
class MyAction extends AbstractAction {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("TECLA PRESSEED----");
//private JButton jButton1 = new JButton("button");
private JTextField jButton1 = new JTextField("prova") {
protected boolean processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks,KeyEvent e,int condition,boolean pressed) {
InputMap map = getInputMap(condition);
ActionMap am = getActionMap();
if(map != null && am != null && isEnabled()) {
System.out.println(pressed);
Object binding = map.get(ks);
Action action = (binding == null) ? null : am.get(binding);
if (action != null) {
return SwingUtilities.notifyAction(action, ks, e, this,
e.getModifiers());
return false;
public SimpleDialog()
MyAction action = new MyAction();
KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F1,0,true);
jButton1.getInputMap().put(ks, "ajuda");
jButton1.getActionMap().put("ajuda", action);
UIManager.getDefaults().put("Text.focusInputMap", new
UIDefaults.LazyInputMap(new Object[] {
"released HOME", JTextField.notifyAction
this.getContentPane().add(jButton1);
//this.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(jButton1);
jButton1.addActionListener(this);
this.pack();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (e.getSource() == jButton1)
System.out.println("button pressed");
public static void main(String[] args)
new SimpleDialog().show();
