JPanel is a Java-based application that allows you to create menus with customized features. You can view the sample menus to show what will appear in your menu, then use that information to help you make personalized menus for your game, presentation or other computer program. One of the features of JPanel is the JMenuBar, which is the bar that handles the functioning of the top menus in JPanel. You can add as many JMenuBars to JPanel as desired with a couple of quick steps.
Difficulty: Moderately EasyInstructions1Open one of the JPanels on your computer.

4Look for the JMenuBar to appear at the top of the JPanel window with its customizable menus.
