Menu items are simply buttons. They can be wired up to actions or you can register handlers on them directly. For menus, actions are recommended.
The Java code for the menu bar tutorial creates a set of actions and adds them to the named action dictionary. The markup then instantiates Menu.Items and associates the items with the actions via the action attribute.
