Manish:
I don't know Cocoa-Java that well. However, in Objective-C, you do the following to get the File menu:
[[NSApp mainMenu] itemWithTitle:@"File"];
Of course, I'm certain it's safer to use the tag for it, but I don't know what that would be off the top of my head.
For having it open a dialogue box:
// assume your dialogue box is in foo.nib
- (void)awakeFromNib {
// rest of your crud
[[[NSApp mainMenu] itemWithTitle:@"Help"] addItemWithTitle:@"Get help" action:@selector(showFoo:) keyEquivalent:@""]; // you must not use keyEquivalent:nil as it will crash your code
}
- (void)showFoo:(id)s {
[NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"Foo" owner:self];
[dialogueBoxWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
}
Java should not be too different, except for the syntax.
