Customize a JMenuItem

Tags: awt, componentslticongt, create, created, customize, displays, following, java, jface, jmenuitem, lticongtso, lttextgt, swing, swt

Is there an easy way to create a new JMenuItem which displays the following components:

<icon> <text> <icon>

so far I have created everything by myself, by overriding the paint method, etc, but it's not really nice, and still doesn't work quite well...

any Idea ?
