KeyStroke not working as accelerator after being deserialized

I ran into a bug when using xstream. Even though KeyStroke is succesfully written to file and read from file it cannot be used anymore. I've attached example code that demonstrates the problem. If you use ObjectOuputStream and ObjectInputStream for serializing everything is fine and the Foo alert is shown when you press B. If you use xstream the alert is not shown.

public final class FrameMain extends JFrame implements WindowListener
{
private JPanel main = new JPanel();

public static void main(String[] args)

{ new FrameMain(); }

public FrameMain()

{ super.setTitle("Xstream KeyStroke bug"); super.setLocation(300, 300); super.setSize(200, 200); super.addWindowListener(this); JButton button = new JButton("Foo"); button.setAction(new ActionFoo(this)); this.main.add(button); KeyStroke key = null; //key = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_N, InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK, true); key = Settings.getInstance().getAcceleratorMap().get(ActionFoo.class); System.out.println(key); this.main.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(key, ActionFoo.class.getSimpleName()); this.main.getActionMap().put(ActionFoo.class.getSimpleName(), new ActionFoo(this)); super.setContentPane(this.main); super.setVisible(true); }
