I’m creating an java application on a Mac that uses Swing JMenus. I would like to use the menu bar on the top of the screen, but it keeps on putting the menu bar in the frame itself. How do you move the menu bar to the top of the screen on a Mac?
You can set a System property to do so. The first example on http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Reference/Java_PropertiesRef/Articles/JavaSystemProperties.html mentions to use
System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");to put your menu into the menubar.
