my 'Menu' class
------
class Menus{
    private JMenu jMenu;
    private JMenuItem jMenuItem;

    PublicNoteMenu(String menu){
        jMenu = new JMenu(menu);
    }

    public void addSeparator(){
        jMenu.addSeparator();
    }

    public void setMenuItem(String item){
        jMenuItem = new JMenuItem(item);
        jMenu.add(jMenuItem);
    }

    public JMenu returnJMenu(){
        return jMenu;
    }

    public JMenuItem returnJMenuItem(){
        return jMenuItem;
    }
}
------

and my main class is
.
.
private Menus MyMenu;
.
.
<setMenu Method>
        MyMenu = new PublicNoteMenu("File");
        MyMenu.setMenuItem("New");
        MyMenu.setMenuItem("Open");
        MyMenu.setMenuItem("Save");
        MyMenu.addSeparator();
        MyMenu.setMenuItem("Quit");

(err)        jMenubar.add(MyMenu.returnJMenu());
------

why 'jMenubar.add(MyMenu.returnJMenu());' line make err?
I think MyMenu.returnJMenu() has no problem...

anyone talk to me, what is my problem?

My guess is that either jMenubar as not been initialised or
MyMenu.returnJMenu() returns a null reference. What does the stack
trace say?

Please post your entire code, at the moment it does not make any sense
whatsoever. Your "main" class is certainly not "private Menus MyMenu",
since this is not how a class is denoted. Nor is it your "main method",
since this has the structure
public static void main(String args[]) {
}

So please clarify. Also you might want to move this thread over to
comp.lang.java.help, since this is obviously a newby question.

Kind regards, Jonck

Please show us real code. Not this junk. What you posted doesn't match
at all. You say you have a 'Menu' class, but your class is called
'Menus' (with an 's'), but even worth you claim the 'Menus" class has a
constructor 'PublicNoteMenu'.

You call that method multiple times. Each time the old jMenuItem
instance variable is overwritten. That doesn't make much sense.

Really? Is PublicNoteMenu a subclass of Menus?

Since you are not showing us your real code we can't tell. Maybe you
never initialized jMenubar.

This could not have compiled. The constructor must have the same name
as the class.

Please post your actual code.
