// Create the menu bar
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
// Create a menu
JMenu menu = new JMenu("Menu Label");
menuBar.add(menu);
// Create a menu item
JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Item Label");
item.addActionListener(actionListener);
menu.add(item);
// Install the menu bar in the frame
frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
