Định viết bài về JMenu tuy nhiên khi tìm được bài code này thì nó rất đầy đủ, giải thích cũng tương đối rõ ràng.

Trước tiên chúng ta cần add một MenuBar vào JFrame, sau đó các JMenu được add vào MenuBar, các JMenuItem được add vào các JMenu.

Chương trình có cả JPopupmenu (khi click chuột phải).

Ngoài ra các bạn cần có ảnh làm icon trong menu, copy file ảnh vào trong package như thế này:
