Re: Can't set icon for PasteAction

Hi,
I understand that you want to change the icon dynamically, so branding is
no option.
Instead of subclassing PasteAction, why don't you subclass
org.openide.util.actions.CallbackSystemAction (PasteAction is derived from
it) and implement your own custom PasteAction. Look at the sources of
PasteAction how they do it.

Best wishes!
Boris
