Hi, all,

I have a need to generate an ActionEvent to drive handlers, and am
having trouble finding examples. It doesn't seem to be as easy as a
PropertyChangeEvent, for which there are multiple examples. I've also
looked at some of the Java source code and it seems somewhat convoluted.

I don't need something real fancy - just the ability to generate an
ActionEvent in my object and have it passed to the handlers. Can anyone
point me to some example code showing an easy way to do this?
