// there you add "Open" menu
// menuManager - IMenuManager in which you insert your menu items

MenuManager newSubMenu = new MenuManager("New");
newSubMenu.add(new NewAction("new1"));
newSubMenu.add(new NewAction("new2"));
newSubMenu.add(new NewAction("new3"));
// where NewAction implements IContributionItem or IAction interface

menuManager.add(newSubMenu);
// there you add "Close" menu
