Javax JMenuBar with Mac

When I try to add a JMenuBar to my frame in Mac, it doesn't show up. I assume it's because JMenuBar isn't integrated into the Mac native method. So can anybody help me with the code that I can use to make my bar viewable?

You can also set the apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar property to true in your Info.plist, as shown here.

Firstly it you need to tell the JVM to use the MenuBar like: 

System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");

Then in your JFrame set the menu bar like so: 

frame.setJMenuBar(new MenuBar());

Add the following VM argument to the java call:

-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true
