    import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
     
    public class MenuTest {
     
        public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
            // Create the menu bar
            JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
     
            // Create a menu
            JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
            BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new URL("http://www.dllc.org/thumbnail.aspx?path=%2FContent%2F10923%2Fthumbnails%2F331827-thumbnail.jpg&width=40&height=40"));
            menu.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
            menu.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
            menu.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
            menuBar.add(menu);
     
     
     
     
     
             JMenu menu1 = new JMenu("View");
            BufferedImage image1 = ImageIO.read(new URL("http://www.gettyicons.com/free-icons/119/sleek-xp-software/png/48/compupic_48.png"));
            menu1.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);

            menu1.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image1));
            menuBar.add(menu1);
     
     
     
     
     
            // Create a menu item
            JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Test Item");
            JMenuItem new_item=new JMenuItem("New");
            JMenuItem save=new JMenuItem("Save");
            JMenuItem open=new JMenuItem("Open");
     
            menu.add(new_item);
            menu.add(item);
            menu.add(open);
            menu.add(save);
     
            JFrame frame = new JFrame();
     
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     
            frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
            frame.setSize(500, 550);
            frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            frame.setVisible(true);
     
        }
