Question

import javax.swing.*;

class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
    JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu();
    JMenuItem item1 = new JMenuItem("aaaa");
    fileMenu.add(item1);
    menuBar.add(fileMenu);
    frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);

    frame.setVisible(true);
}

}

Pretty simple code. It should show a JMenuBar with a JMenuItem labelled “aaaa” but nothing shows as you can see in the picture below.

Answer 1

It is there, but you can’t see it because you didn’t give the JfileMenu a name.

JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
