 * This class provides default implementations for the JFC <code>Action</code> 
 * interface. Standard behaviors like the get and set methods for
 * <code>Action</code> object properties (icon, text, and enabled) are defined
 * here. The developer need only subclass this abstract class and
 * define the <code>actionPerformed</code> method. 
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
