How can I fire an ActionEvent from a different JComponent?

Question

I have a JTextField with an ActionListener registered to it. When this JTextField has focus, and the enter key is pressed, an ActionEvent is created.

How can I link this event to another components ActionListener, like a JButton, so I can run its code?

Answer 1

Have each action listener just call the same function. For example,

 public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
    myModel.actOnButtonOrTextEvent( e );
 }
