NodeAction.performAction() deprecated, alternatives?

Hi, I'm wondering if there's any other way of doing this other than the deprecated method NodeAction.performAction(). 

I have a class that extends NodeAction, and it has a popup presenter. To get the data from the selected menu item i use performAction. But it's deprecated, so I guess there's another better way of doing this... Any recommendations? 


Code:

public class MyAction extends NodeAction{

    @Override
    public JMenuItem getPopupPresenter() {
        JMenu menu = new JMenu();
        menu.setText("My menu");
        for (int i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++) {
            ExtendedMenuItem item = new ExtendedMenuItem(key);
            item.setText(key);
            item.addActionListener(this);
            menu.add(item);
        }
        return menu;
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        // need actionPerfomed to get information about the menu items!
        if (e.getSource() instanceof ExtendedMenuItem) {
            ExtendedMenuItem eItem = (ExtendedMenuItem) e.getSource();
            for (Node node : getActivatedNodes()) {
                // do something with the selected nodes depending on the menu choice
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void performAction(Node[] arg0) {
        // won't get any information about the menu here...

    }
}
