For a pure Swing solution, have a look at the flamingo library:

This can also be integrated into the NetBeans platform:

If you are talking about normal menu bar, not ribbon, you can take a look at this excellent tutorial to create menu bar.

You probably mean ribbon. There are several implementations around.

As I prefer SWT over swing/awt I'd point you at hexapixel's SWT based implementation. Have a look at the screen shots.
