A basic rule of thumb might be that you should definitely use the swing menu
stuff if your are using JFrames or JDialogs as the Swing menu components are
lightweight. If you use the AWT menus with Swing containers then you may run
into lightweight/heavyweight problems.

I'm not sure about DecoratedFrame as I have never used it.

I think the Swing menu components have better functionality and can be
integrated with toolbars better.
