/**
 * The <code>MenuBar</code> class encapsulates the platform's
 * concept of a menu bar bound to a frame. In order to associate
 * the menu bar with a <code>Frame</code> object, call the
 * frame's <code>setMenuBar</code> method.
 * <p>
 * <A NAME="mbexample"></A><!-- target for cross references -->
 * This is what a menu bar might look like:

 * <alt="Diagram of MenuBar containing 2 menus: Examples and Options.
 * Examples menu is expanded showing items: Basic, Simple, Check, and More Examples."
 * ALIGN=center HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <p>
 * A menu bar handles keyboard shortcuts for menu items, passing them
 * along to its child menus.
 * (Keyboard shortcuts, which are optional, provide the user with
 * an alternative to the mouse for invoking a menu item and the
 * action that is associated with it.)
 * Each menu item can maintain an instance of <code>MenuShortcut</code>.
 * The <code>MenuBar</code> class defines several methods,
 * {@link MenuBar#shortcuts} and
 * {@link MenuBar#getShortcutMenuItem}
 * that retrieve information about the shortcuts a given
 * menu bar is managing.
