How do I add a JPopupMenu to a JMenu? I've tried
<br><br>

myMenu.add(new JMenuItem().add(popupMenu));

<br><br>
and
<br><br>

 myMenu.add(popupMenu);

<br><br>
But neither makes the popup menu's items show up.

I faced the same problem and found an ugly way around it:

JMenuBar bar=new JMenuBar();
setJMenuBar(bar);
JMenu mainmenu=new JMenu("Documents");
JMenu addDoc=new JMenu("Add");
addDoc.add(new JMenuItem("Book"));
addDoc.add(new JMenuItem("Journal"));
addDoc.add(new JMenuItem("Article"));
mainmenu.add(addDoc);
mainmenu.add(new JMenuItem("Do smth else"));
bar.add(mainmenu);

This only solves problem but doesnt answer the question.. hope
it helps like this also..
best wishes,
gabri
