[Geoffrey Ren]

I am swing beginner.I want to implement a applet popmenu.
for example:
menu1 menu2 ..............
item1 item1 ..............
item2 item2 ..............
item3 item3 ..............

when your mouse point the menu1. It pop the item1,item2,item3 menu
All of item came from a xml file

Use a MouseListener and override the method mouseEntered for each component in the popup. As for the XML file, parse the data beforehand and use it to generate the additional popup menus as desired.

JPopupMenu p = new JPopupMenu();
JMenuItem hello = new JMenuItem("Hello!");
hello.addActionListener(new ActionListener {
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    JMenuItem how = new JMenuItem("How");
    how.addActionListener(new ActionListener {
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          return;
}};
    JPopupMenu p2 = new JPopupMenu();
    p2.add(how);
    p2.show();
   });
