Magic Menu Editor
Magic Menu is a special version of the Codepad
editor. It was designed to edit java properties files containing menubar
and toolbar definitions, which are plain text documents. The editor provides
useful dialogs to insert toolbars, menubars, menus and menu items. Menubars
and toolbars can be previewed using a swing view
or a AWT view. Source code templates are available
to create loader classes for the toolbar or menubar. This loader classes
can be used to load the menubars and toolbars from within your application.

Menubars and Toolbars
Click the preview button of the Magic Menu toolbar. This will pop up the
following dialog:
You can specify a menubar or a toolbar or both. If "swing enabled"
is checked, the preview window will use swing components; otherwise it
will use AWT components. If "Use Images in Menu Items" is checked,
images will not only displayed in toolbar buttons, they will also be displayed
beside the menu label. When using AWT components, images aren't available;
the menu label will be displayed instead of an image in the toolbar buttons.
The preview window has an edit control; the action field of the menu items
is inserted there (when clicking on an item). Beside this, error messages
about not found menu resources etc. are inserted into this edit control.
