[Bug AWT/19849] New: Swing: ActionEvent.getActionCommand null

[hendrich at informatik dot uni-hamburg dot de]

In order to avoid the overhead of individual event-listeners for every
button or menu-item, my application uses a central ActionListener which
uses ActionEvent.getActionCommand() to distinguish between the several
(hundred) event sources.

Unfortunately, ActionEvents created by Swing components in libgcj always 
return null for getActionCommand(). Testing with the JDKs (1.1 .. 5.0) 
reveals, that the JDKs return getText() for standard AbstractButtons like 
JButton or JMenuItem. I suggest that gcj also returns the value of getText() 
for these components.

See attached testcase; compile and run with gcj and a JDK/JRE for comparison.
