A MenuBar is a container for top-level menu items represented by MenuItem components.

A given MenuItem can be either a command, or a sub-menu containing other MenuItem components.

This class offers a set of "getXxx" methods for retrieving the different kinds of UIComponent instances laid out in a GUI panel.

It also provides a set of generic find/get methods, with the following naming logic:

• 'find...' stands for a unitary search that returns null when nothing was found
• 'getXxxComponent' stands for a unitary search that throws an exception when nothing was found
• 'getXxxComponents' stands for plural search and returns an empty array when nothing was found
• 'getXxxComponents' stands for plural search and returns an empty array when nothing was found
• 'containsXxxComponents' returns an assertion for checking the presence of a component

This class provides means for checking the contents and the current position of the knob, changing the position, etc.

The contents of the underlying table can be usually checked with String or Boolean values, as in the following example:

 assertTrue(table.contentEquals(new String[]{
 {"Bart", "Simpson"},
 {"Marge", "Simpson"}
 }));
 

The nodes of a tree are identified using stringified paths.

Ready-to-use triggers are made available by several components such as Buttons or Menus.

Test cases derived from this class automatically set up the instanciation mechanism.
