Description
In order to fix JDK-8145207 the AccessibleAction interface was needed for JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild but a backport of this fix has been requested and the released public API can not be changed in 8u or earlier.  The workaround is to create and use a private subclass of JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild, JList.AccessibleJList.ActionableAccessibleJListChild.  In a new release this should be removed and the AccessibleAction implementation moved to JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild.

FC Extension Request. The JList.AccessibleJList.ActionableAccessibleJListChild subclass of JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild added by JDK-8145207 should be removed and the implementation of the AccessibleAction interface instead added to JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild. Note that the addition of the implementation of the AccessibleAction interface will result in a (small) change to the public API of JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild. The risk of this fix is low. The justification for this change: If a user overrides the JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild class and returns from its code it will not inherit the AccessibleAction behavior. This feature will be complete prior to August 1.

From Alexandr: I think it is better to implement this small enhancement in JDK 9. The fix JDK-8145207 just returns a subclass of the JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild. If a user overrides the class and returns from its code it will not inherit the AccessibleAction behavior.
