Java. Action listener for JMenu

Question

How can I add action listener for JMenu (not for JMenuItem)? I want to open new window on clicking this menu. Thank you very much!

[Read the documentation](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/JMenu.html): Take a look at the section named ***Methods inherited from class javax.swing.AbstractButton*** — BackSlash, Jul 16 '14 at 13:10

You can try this one and you can add an action listener to the JMenu.

menu.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
{
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        //Execute when JMenu is pressed
        System.out.println("You clicked the JMenu");
    }
});
