To construct menus, RapidClipse offers the Menus view. Using a hierarchical tree structure, menus can be created and changed quickly and easily. The first tree entries are menus that allow you to add menu entries by clicking on + Add item. When you attach a new MenuItem to a menu item, a submenu is created. You can use this process to create a menu hierarchy of any complexity.
