Hi Rayne, As I see it there are three reasons why using AbstractAction is nice: [a] they can be (re)used for buttons/toolbars/menus (including icon and tooltip). [b] they can be disabled/enabled in one place. [c] global key bindings http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/web/global-hotkey.clj
Those benefits are somewhat moot in Clojure seeing you can re-use a function and provide concise constructs with either approach (if reuse is even necessary). So I would say it is entirely a question of preference. I agree ActionListeners have the advantage of being more explicit, and more obvious. I just like the AbstractAction way :) You may have already come across http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/97a30dbf77cf0a70/11cfa154ec30af18 I found it really interesting that Keith implemented and provides the source for a swing app in Java Ruby and Clojure.
