I agree that setting accelerators with JMenu is not really intuitive.  
Try this (assiming menuFileExit is a JMenuItem):

    menuFileExit.setText("Exit");
    menuFileExit.setAccelerator(
      KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( 88,
                              java.awt.Event.CTRL_MASK));
    menuFileExit.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        menuFileExit_actionPerformed(e);
      }
    });
