Have all menuitems in own class

[Torvald Helmer]

I have a class Frame like this:

class Frame extends JFrame /*implements ActionListener*/ {
 
    //Menu m = new Menu();
 
    public Frame() {
        setTitle("");
        setSize(500,300);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        
        JMenuBar mB = new JMenuBar();
        setJMenuBar(mB);
    }

I want to have a class Menu like this, with all
menuitems:

class Menu  {
    
    JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
 
    public Menu() {
        add(fileMenu);
    }
}

But this not work. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone
have a idea on how to do this?

When I try to add menutiem in the Frame-class, it works
fine. But I want to have all related to the menu in a
separate file.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class MyFrame extends JFrame
{
  public MyFrame()
  {
    setTitle("");
    setSize(500,300);
    setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    setJMenuBar(new MyMenuBar());
  }
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new MyFrame().setVisible(true);
      }
    });
  }
}
class MyMenuBar extends JMenuBar
{
  public MyMenuBar()
  {
    JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
    fileMenu.add(new JMenuItem("Open"));
    add(fileMenu);
  }
}
