http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JMenu.html

tells me I can create a JMenu like this:

JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");

There is even more, it also tells me that I can add a JMenuItem. Wow!

JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("New");
menu.add(item);

If you want to become a good programmer, learn to read the documentation
first.

This doesn't directly help the OP but...
I've been working on a package for automating menu construction, based on an
idea of Roedy's, whose current state is found at
http://www.cs.queensu.ca/home/dalam...menu/package-summary.html#package_description

I'd appreciate knowing if there's someone willing to be create or convert a
small application or applet for which automated menu creation might be useful.

Have a look at API.

Also you may need to consider thread issues (i.e. event-dispatching
thread) for "changing" GUI.
