All items in a menu must belong to the class MenuItem, or one of its subclasses. 
 The default MenuItem object embodies a simple labeled menu item. 

This picture of a menu bar shows five menu items:


 The first two items are simple menu items, labeled "Basic" and "Simple". Following these two items is a separator, which is itself a menu item, created with the label "-". Next is an instance of CheckboxMenuItem labeled "Check". The final menu item is a submenu labeled "More Examples", and this submenu is an instance of Menu. 
 When a menu item is selected, AWT sends an action event to the menu item. Since the event is an instance of ActionEvent, the processEvent method examines the event and passes it along to processActionEvent. The latter method redirects the event to any ActionListener objects that have registered an interest in action events generated by this menu item. 
 Note that the subclass Menu overrides this behavior and does not send any event to the frame until one of its subitems is selected.
