add popupmenu with copy/paste/cut to 4 textfields

I would like to add popupmenu with copy/paste/cut to 4 textfields so I have code:

Code:

---

private void jTextField1MousePressed1(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                       
        if (evt.isMetaDown()) { 
            jPopupMenu1.show(evt.getComponent(), evt.getX(), evt.getY());
            jPopupMenu1.setInvoker(evt.getComponent());
        }
}     

private void jTextField2MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        if (evt.isMetaDown()) { 
            jPopupMenu1.show(evt.getComponent(), evt.getX(), evt.getY());
            jPopupMenu1.setInvoker(evt.getComponent());
        }
    }

    private void jTextField3MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        if (evt.isMetaDown()) { 
            jPopupMenu1.show(evt.getComponent(), evt.getX(), evt.getY());
            jPopupMenu1.setInvoker(evt.getComponent());
        }
    }

private void jTextField4MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        if (evt.isMetaDown()) { 
            jPopupMenu1.show(evt.getComponent(), evt.getX(), evt.getY());
            jPopupMenu1.setInvoker(evt.getComponent());
        }
    }

---

And action for each menuitem in popupmenu:

Code:

---

private void jMenuItemActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        Object source = evt.getSource();
        if (source == jMenuItem1) {
                JTextField jte = (JTextField)jPopupMenu1.getInvoker();
                jte.copy();
        }
        else if (source == jMenuItem2) {
                JTextField jte = (JTextField)jPopupMenu1.getInvoker();
                jte.copy();
        }
        else if (source == jMenuItem3) {
                JTextField jte = (JTextField)jPopupMenu1.getInvoker();
                jte.copy();
        }
    }

I see popupmenu with copy/paste/cut but it doesn't work - I can't for example copy -why?

i'm a newbie in java, so my following opinion probably wrong.

OOT: why you don't use a single function for all your event handlers?

Code:

---

private void jTextField1MousePressed1(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                       
        handlers();
}     
 
private void jTextField2MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        handlers();
}
 
private void jTextField3MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        handlers()
}
 
private void jTextField4MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        handlers ();
}

public void handlers () {
        if (evt.isMetaDown()) { 
            jPopupMenu1.show(evt.getComponent(), evt.getX(), evt.getY());
            jPopupMenu1.setInvoker(evt.getComponent());
        }
}

Ok i know - in each IF I have jte.copy() - lol :P It should be: copy(), paste() and cut() :P
