In NetBeans 5.5 JDK 6.0, JComboBox does not fire ActionEvent if already selected element is reselected. This was not a problem in NetBeans 5.0 JDK 5.08. This is causing much grief in porting a large application from NetBeans 5.0 to NetBeans 5.5. Help much appreciated. Thanks
JDK is not the same thing as Netbeans..two different applications and licenses. Do you have the same problem by adding the 5.0 JDK to your Tools->Java Platform Manager section and then in project properties on the libraries tab setting your project to use this JDK? It makes sense not to fire an event for the same exact value...what would you do differently if the same value is selected again? You have three values...as an example: Tom Dave Jack Jack was selected before. Nothing else is changed except for Jack is selected again...what would you want to happen? Anyways, this is probably some type of a change in the JDK/JRE 6. Running an application on a JDK doesn't have anything to do with Netbeans regardless...no more than it has anything to do with Eclipse, IntelliJ, or any other IDE you want to name.
