Use a Menu bean to provide a set of related choices for a window or component. You can add the menu either as a pull-down menu for a menu bar or as a cascade menu for another menu.
Use a JMenu bean, rather than a Menu bean, if you want to use it with a Swing container. Although Swing and AWT beans can be mixed, it is inadvisable.
