[nb_dev](20010824),[jdk1.3.1](rc1)

If you create new form, and axtends for example JMenuBar after selection Form
node is Component Isnpector aren't visible "Add JMenu".

It would be nice if in popup of forms created of any class(beans) will be shown
actions as are showned if you add this bean to form :
- JMenuBar
	Add JMenu
- JMenu , JPopupMenu
	 Add / JMenuItem, JSeparator, .....
- MenuBar
	Add Menu
- Menu, PopupMenu
	Add / MenuItem, Separator, ...

We should redesign the menu design support - so it is possible to design and
handle the menus as normal visual components (and containers). This includes
possibility to use subclasses of Swing menus, to add other visual components to
menus (e.g. separator to menubar), to e.g. add menubar to panel, etc.

Not sure yet when we get to this.
