newbie question

[Yumex85]

Hello,
Here it is a simple frame i made, with a menubar and several menus I
added to menubar. Now I wanna add sub items to each menu. As you can
see below, to add to menus, i made a loop, but now i dont know how i
could add the sub items in each menu, coz i dont know the name of each
object i created . do They all have "menu" name? Are they
automatically kept in an array?

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;


public class ABNAplic {

JFrame mainFrame;
JPanel mainPanel;
String[] menuLista =
{"Cadastros","Consultas","Relatórios","Processamentos","Reconciliações","Logs
e Consistências","Sobre","Sair"};


public static void main(String[] args) {

ABNAplic mainGui = new ABNAplic();
mainGui.go();

}



public void go() {


mainFrame = new JFrame("Gestão de Operações Financeiras Banco Real
ABN Amro");
mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();


for(String menus:menuLista) {

JMenu menu = new JMenu(menus);
menuBar.add(menu);

}


mainFrame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
mainFrame.setSize(700,700);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);


}


}

No, you should create your own structure for keeping track of them, this
could be an array but some other structure such as a hashmap keyed by
menu title might be more useful.

String[] menuLista = { "Cadastros","Consultas","Relatórios",
"Processamentos","Reconciliações","Logse Consistências",
"Sobre","Sair"};

public static void main(String[] args) {

ABNAplic mainGui = new ABNAplic();
mainGui.go();

It is normal to use a ABNAplic() constructor instead of your go() method.

}
public void go() {

ABNAplic() {

for(String menus:menuLista) {
JMenu menu = new JMenu(menus);
menuBar.add(menu);

At this point you can add menu to an array or HashMap or other structure.
