OK, what is the problem with hard-coded mnemonics? How do I have to
fix it? Just point me to some spec describing this, if there is any.
Thanks.

The problem is that noone can localize it ;(

instead of:
newButton.setText("New"); 
newButton.setMnemonic('N');

use:
org.openide.awt.Actions.setMenuText(newButton,"&New",true);
// where "&New" is got from a bundle

 (it's a bit old ;( )
