I am having trouble trying to get the menu and menu items to show in my
applet. It's my first attempt to create an applet and demonstarte the use
of the different toolkits while also porting over a SWT app I created. I'd
appreciate any assistance. Thank you in advance. I've included the code
below.

public void init ()
{
java.awt.Button awtButton = new java.awt.Button("AWT Button");
add(awtButton);
awtButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener (){
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
{
showStatus ("AWT Button Selected");
}
});

javax.swing.JButton jButton = new javax.swing.JButton("Swing
Button");
add(jButton);
jButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener () {
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
showStatus ("Swing Button Selected");
}
});
this.setBounds(100,100,700,600);
Thread swtUIThread = new Thread (this);
swtUIThread.start ();
}
public void run()
{
Canvas awtParent = new Canvas();
add(awtParent);

Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = SWT_AWT.new_Shell(display, awtParent);
GridLayout grid = new GridLayout();
grid.numColumns = 2;
shell.setLayout(grid);

Menu menu = new Menu(shell, SWT.BAR);

MenuItem file = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.CASCADE);
file.setText("File");
Menu filemenu = new Menu(shell, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
file.setMenu(filemenu);
MenuItem createNewRecipe = new MenuItem(filemenu, SWT.PUSH);
createNewRecipe.setText("New Recipe");
MenuItem openExisting = new MenuItem(filemenu,SWT.PUSH);
openExisting.setText("Open Existing Recipe");
MenuItem menuDivide = new MenuItem(filemenu, SWT.SEPARATOR);
save = new MenuItem(filemenu,SWT.PUSH);
save.setText("Save");
save.setEnabled(false);
saveNew = new MenuItem(filemenu,SWT.PUSH);
saveNew.setText("Save as new XML document");
saveNew.setEnabled(false);
MenuItem menuDivide2 = new MenuItem(filemenu, SWT.SEPARATOR);
MenuItem close = new MenuItem(filemenu,SWT.PUSH);
close.setText("Exit");

shell.setMenuBar(menu);

Button swtButton = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
swtButton.setText("SWT Button");
swtButton.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event){
showStatus("SWT Button selected.");
}
});

Button b = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b.setText("NEW BUTTON");
swtButton.addListener(SWT.Dispose, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event){
System.out.println("Button was disposed.");
}
});

// Size AWT Panel so that it is big enough to hold the SWT widgets
Point size = shell.computeSize (SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT);
awtParent.setSize(size.x * 20, size.y * 20);

validate();
shell.setBackground(new Color(display, 0,0,0));

while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep ();
}
}

below is that you're not putting SWT in the main thread.  This is an
absolute <i>must</i>.  When SWT is not in the main thread, it becomes
non responsive and on some platforms the widgets don't display at all. 
To this end, your applet will also not work on the Macintosh platform
because the java implementation for the mac doesn't allow access to the
main thread.<br>

Can you please explain or provide an example? What do you mean by SWT: Are
you referring to the shell or all SWT components? By main I assume you
mean the <i>init</i> or correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Chris
