like SoboLAN said:

    final JTabbedPane tabs = new JTabbedPane();
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    tabs.add("title", panel);
    //add more tabs...

    // here the important part starts
    JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("open tab 1");
    item.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        //this function get called when you click the item.
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            //insert the index you want to select
            tabs.setSelectedIndex(0);
        }
    });

In the ActionListener of the JMenuItem, you can call JTabbedPane#setSelectedIndex.
