Adding a JMenubar into a Borderlayout

I'd like to ask to put a JMenubar into this Bordlerlayout here. It generates five circles at random buttons when I start it and i wanted to add a menu with an actionlistener to place the circles randomly again. So i'd like to ask if its possible this way or are there any easier ways ? And does anyone know why sometimes there are just 4 circles instead of five when I start it ? 

package test2;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class action extends JFrame {

/**
 * 
 */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int size = 5;
    int[] randompoints = GetRandomPoints(size);
    action gt = new action(size, randompoints);
    gt.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    gt.pack();
    gt.setVisible(true);
    }
private static int[] GetRandomPoints(int size) {
    int[] result = new int[size];
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        int helper = (int) (Math.random() * (size * size) + 1);
        for (int x = 0; x <= i; x++) {
            if (helper == result[x]) {
                i--;
            }
        }
        result[i] = helper;
    }
    return result;
}

public action(int size, int[] randompoints) {
    Container pane = getContentPane();
    pane.setLayout(new GridLayout(size, size));
    for (int i = 0; i < size * size; i++) {
        JButton button = new JButton();
        button.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
        button.setName(Integer.toString(i));
        button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(80, 80));
        for (int x = 0; x < randompoints.length; x++) {
            if (i == randompoints[x]) {
                button.setText("O");

            }
        }
        pane.add(button);
    }
 }

}enter code here

A menu bar is something you put in the JFrame or JDialog, not in the layout. Is something for the window, not for the inside of the window. You can use a popup menu, but probably is better to use a button or something like that.

I recomend you to read the tutorial: How to Use Menus.
