public abstract class APRSAction

extends javax.swing.AbstractAction

This abstract class provides a basic foundation of an java.awt.Action that provides the ability to associate the action with a JCheckBoxMenuItem. It also provides some handy constructors for specifying addition information on the configuration of the Action. Typical use would be something like

	final JCheckBoxMenuItem initTNC = new JCheckBoxMenuItem( "TNC" );
	APRSAction a = new APRSAction( "InitializeTNC", "Initialize the TNC", false ) {
		public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ev ) {
			if( initTNC.isSelected() ) {
				initializeTNC();
			} else {
				shutdownTNC();
			}
		}
	};
	a.setValue( APRSAction.CHECKBOX, initTNC );
	a.setEnabled(false);
	...
	if( haveTNC ) {
		a.setEnabled(true);
	}
	...
