    Looking towards line 48....the constructor for JMenu
    createMenu = new JMenu(menuInput[][]);
    does not exist. You should iterate through your menu input arrays a populate that way. In addition, you need to assign your menuInput array
    menuInput = array();
    or when you loop through your array you will end up receiving a null pointer exception

    i would suggest you use object oriented approach where you put your test class and your methods in separate classes. that way it will be essay for you to debug and modify your code and its a good programming skill that you should develop..
