In this example, you will see, how to create menus in Swing. Menu bar contains a collection of menus. Here we create four menu that is: "File", "Edit", "View" and "Help". The complete program code and output is as follows:

Sample code (SwingJMenu.java):

    
        
            
            import javax.swing.*;

            

            public class SwingJMenu extends JFrame {

              private JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();

            

              public SwingJMenu(String title) {

                setTitle(title);

                setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

                setJMenuBar(menuBar);

                JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");

                JMenu editMenu = new JMenu("Edit");

                JMenu viewMenu = new JMenu("View");

                JMenu helpMenu = new JMenu("Help");

                menuBar.add(fileMenu);

                menuBar.add(editMenu);

                menuBar.add(viewMenu);

                menuBar.add(helpMenu);

              }

            

              public static void main(String[] args) {

                SwingJMenu window = new SwingJMenu("Menu"); 

                window.setBounds(30, 30, 300, 300);

                window.setVisible(true);

              }

            }
