Ok, I finally figured it out by going thru heaps of code, so if
someone else comes across this later;
1. Create a MenuBar
2. Create a MenuBar.Item (mbItem), which may either take a String,
Image or ButtonData instance in the constructor.
3. Create a Menu (menu).
4. call mbItem.setMenu( menu );
5. Create a Menu.Section and give it a name (probably optional).
6. Add the section to the menu.getSections() sequence.
7. Create a Menu.Item (mItem), which again can take a String, Image or
ButtonData/MenuItemData instance.
8. Add the mItem to the Section.
9. Place the MenuBar in the Frame or Layout where needed.
The following code snippet is my working test copy;
MenuBar bar = new MenuBar();
MenuBar.Item mbItem = new MenuBar.Item( "File" );
Menu menu = new Menu();
mbItem.setMenu( menu );
Menu.Item item = new Menu.Item( "Open...");
Menu.SectionSequence sections = menu.getSections();
Menu.Section section = new Menu.Section();
section.setName( "default" );
sections.add( section );
section.add( item );
bar.getItems().add( mbItem );
Frame frame = new Frame("Menus", bar);
frame.open( display );
Cheers
