Alt shortcuts in Java?

In Visual Studio as you use the '&' before a letter in the text of a button or etc. for getting a letter underlined shortcut so ALT + that letter executes the button or etc.

I wanna know how do that in Java. I know it's possible because I have seen underlined letter shortcuts pop up in JOptionPanes.

I have tried putting the & symbol in JButton Text but doesn't work.

Please Help!

You have to pragrammatically set this shortcut for each button. For example:

enterButton = new JButton("Enter");
enterButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); // Shortcut: Alt + Enter
