Problem getting the JPopupMenu from the Action it generates

Show key headers only | View raw

I'm having a problem getting the JPopupMenu from an Action that is 
generated by the JPopupMenu.  The error is a ClassCastException and it 
is saying that what is returned by ActionEvent.getSource() cannot be 
cast to a JPopupMenu because it is a JPopupMenu$1.  JPopupMenu$1 is an 
anonymous class and shouldn't be returned by ActionEvent.getSource().

In the end, I'm trying to get to the component that was right clicked to 
pop up the menu.

I'm stumped, any ideas?

Thanks,
