Hi,
I just come across javax.swing.Action. It extends ActionListener in java.awt.
For the exam, should I use Action intead of ActionListener?
In study guide, the example code uses ActionListener too.
But the exam requires Swing component.
Which one should I use then? Action or ActionListener?
Thanks in advance.

Well, you can use whichever you prefer. You just can't use classes of the java.awt package that have corresponding ones in the java.swing package. For instance, you can't use java.awt.Button, since there's javax.swing.JButton. But there's no problem in using java.awt.event.ActionListener.
Either Action or ActionListener are fine.

Damn Roberto beat me to the reply
Yes Roberto is right, either one is fine. Action is a class, need to extend AbstractAction. ActionListener is an interface, implements it. Yet whatever you choose, be consistent.
