In what context? Is this a Swing GUI program? SWT? Console? What do you have so far?

If you're using Swing note that a JMenu is a JMenuItem (it extends that class) so it can be used as such.

Thx for ur reply. i'm using Swing GUI program. I already used JMenu for my main heading & JMenuItem for my sub headings. It works fine but when i tried to create a nested menus from sub heading, i got some errors when i used JMenuItem. Is there any other way to declare nested menus?

I don't understand your question; all I can say is use a JMenu as if it were a JMenuItem and voila, you have your nested menu.

Have you read the API and followed the link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Menus" which contains a working example with sub menus?
