import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;

public class MenuDemo extends JFrame{
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
JMenu menu = new JMenu(”Menu”);
JMenuItem openItem = new JMenuItem(”Open file”);
JMenuItem exitItem = new JMenuItem(”Exit”);
public MenuDemo(){
getContentPane().setLayout(null);
menuBar.add(menu);
menu.add(openItem);
menu.add(exitItem);
add(menuBar);
setJMenuBar(menuBar);
setTitle(”Menu demo”);
setSize(200,200);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
new MenuDemo();
}
