public class JMenuItem

extends AbstractButton

implements Accessible, MenuElement

An implementation of a MenuItem. A menu item is essentially a button sitting in a list. When the user selects the "button", the action associated with the menu item is performed. A JMenuItem contained in a JPopupMenu performs exactly that function.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JMenuItem key assignments.

Warning: serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between Swing1.0 applications. It will not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases of Swing. The JDK1.2 release of Swing will be the compatibility baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.
