Error when calling a constructor

[Jesse Walker]

I get an error when calling a constructor that makes a JMenu, just one menu with menu items, but it gives me an incompatible error when I call it
Here is the code

JMenu file = new StandardMenu();

what is wrong with it, the constructor is a public void, so it doesnt return anything. Im pulling my hair out at this one, so any help can be appreciated
Thanks

Constructors don't have a return type - it should look like

public StandardMenu() {
...
}

[Joyce Lee]

Is your StandardMenu a subclass (directly or indirectlly) of JMenu?

For example:

  
public class StandardMenu extends JMenu {
 
.....
 
}

JMenu objJMenu=new StandardMenu()

This declaration is only vaild
StandardMenu is a sub-class of JMenu

my constructor doesnt have a return type. And if I change the StandardMenu to be a subclass of JMenu then the call should work, that makes sense I did the same thing with a frame but I subclass the class I made from JFrame, I feel stupid now but thanks for your help.
