How can I add JMenuBars,JMenus and JMenuItems using IntelliJ's Swing GUI Designer?

I can't find the components specified in the title anywhere in IntelliJ's Palette. I notice that the form has a JMenuBar, but I don't see it, and I don't know how to access it. Is there any way of using these components visually?

+1  A: 

Creating menus like this isn't currently available in the IntelliJ designer. Their official solution is to use the JFormDesigner plugin for intelliJ. Or of course to code them by hand. Here is a link to the discussion in their forums :-

Thanks, jT
