    It depends how you wish to receive events. The above link provided might help for JMenus (and I'd recommend going to the newer API, rather than a 10 year old one). The following might help as well
    How to Use Key Bindings (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Other Swing Features)
