A menu item is simply associated with each view you want to have menu items for. In order for Joomla to allow you to create a menu item for a particular view, you have to instruct it with an XML file that defines the parameters are stored for that menu item (if any). You will need to add an XML file here:

/JOOMLA/components/YOUR COMPONENT/views/VIEW YOU WANT MENU FOR/tmpl/default.xml

This is tutorial is for 1.5, but it will be similar for 2.5. The main difference is that JParameter has been replace by JForm.
