Object subclass representing a single item in a Menu. A MenuItem stores a reference to a java.awt.MenuItem, which it uses as the actual menu item control. A MenuItem may or may not have a submenu. In general, you don't create MenuItems yourself, but instead use Menu's addItem() and addItemWithSubmenu() methods.
