     public MenuItemAction()
     {
         createAndShowGUI();
     }
     
     private void createAndShowGUI()
     {
         setTitle("ActionListener for MenuItem");
        
         // Create MenuBar, Menu, MenuItem
         mb=new MenuBar();
         m=new Menu("Menu");
         exit=new MenuItem("Exit");
        
         // Add ActionListener
         exit.addActionListener(this);
        
         // Add exit to sajian and sajian to menubar
         m.add(exit);
         mb.add(m);
        
         // Set sajian kafe to frame
         setMenuBar(mb);
        
         setSize(400,400);
         setVisible(true);
     }
     
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
     {
         System.exit(0);
     }
     
     public static void main(String args[])
     {
         new MenuItemAction();
