You already have a thread open, over here, in which you were told how to create a menu. In the future, use the old thread instead of opening a new one.

Those were instructions for a text menu, in the console.
1) Output a list of options, which are numbered.

code:

Please choose an option:     1) option1     2) option2     3) option3     etc...

2) Receive user input, and react accordingly.

code:

choice = User_input     if (choice == 1)         do stuff for choice 1     else if (choice == 2)         do stuff for choice 2     else if (choice == 3)         do stuff for choice 3     etc...     else         User is an idiot.

Unless of course you want a non console based menu, in which case you just add an ActionListener to a Button, JButton, or any other awt/swing widget you care to use.

If there is some specific part of this you don't understand, ask, and we'll help you understand it, but "I don't know how to make a menu" gives us very little to go on. Is it a text menu, or GUI? What have you tried so far? What specifically don't you get?

The more information you give us, the more helpful we can be.

Yes, you've already said that. What you haven't done is shown any of your own efforts at this nor specified the type of menu you are trying to create (GUI, Console, etc)
