If the menu is only a _method_ variable, the designer will not see
it. To have the designer see it, create it as an instance variable:

JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");

// ...

void jbInit() {

  // ...
  mb.add(menu);
  this.setJMenuBar(mb);
  // ...
}

Also note: The "menu designer" is separate from the "frame" designer:
When you have the menu as an instance field, you should be able to
start its designer from the subnode of "Menu" node on the designer
tree.
