Bug 75292

When a JMenuBar is added to a JPanel, at the moment, it is simply added to the
Other Components section in the navigator.  Instead, it should be added as a
regular Component and appear in the layout area of the panel.  

The below code demonstrates how a JMenuBar can be added to a JPanel.


public class TestMenuFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame
{
    class InnerPanel extends JPanel
    {
        InnerPanel()
        {
            setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            
            JMenuBar menuBar =  new JMenuBar();
            JMenu favs = new JMenu("Menu");
            menuBar.add(favs);   //this line missing
            favs.add(new JMenuItem("Alpha"));
            add(menuBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        }
    }
    
    InnerPanel innerPanel = new InnerPanel();
    
    /** Creates new form TestMenuFrame */
    public TestMenuFrame()
    {
        initComponents();
        
        this.getContentPane().add(innerPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        
        setSize(640, 480);
    }
    
    /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
     * always regenerated by the Form Editor.
     */
    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" Generated Code ">

    {

        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        pack();
    }// </editor-fold>
    
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                new TestMenuFrame().setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
