title: Java: How can I add a JMenu to a JPanel or create a drop down button?
body: <p>is there any way to add a JMenuItem to a JPanel so that I can create a button to show multiple options, like the latest news button in firefox, under the address bar?</p>
  
  <p>I can only add JMenu and JMenuItems to a JMenuBar, JPopupMenu and other JMenus and JMenuitems</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to create in Java Swing a drop down Jbutton? (the ones with an down arrow in their left which shows more options to the user)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
