I posted this to the ide group but have received no answer. It's 
possibly a swing question anyway.

I need a menu choice on the default menu bar which when selected doesn't 
cause a submenu to drop down but triggers its action immediately.

The problem I'm having when I put a jMenuItem (not a jMenu) on the menu 
bar is it is much wider than the other things on the bar, all of which 
are jMenu.

I don't see how to control the width of a jMenuItem on the bar.

What am I missing?

John
