public class JMenuBar
extends JComponent
implements Accessible, MenuElement

An implementation of a MenuBar. You add JMenu objects to the menu bar to construct a menu. When the user selects a JMenu object, its associated JPopupMenu is displayed, allowing the user to select one of the JMenuItems on it.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JMenuBar key assignments.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.
