TIPS FOR VIEW CONSTRUCTOR

Question about the task

Under discussion

9.1. Implement the initMenuBar() method. It must:
9.1.1. Create a new JMenuBar object. This will be our menu bar.
9.1.2. Use MenuHelper to initialize the menu in the following order: File, Edit, Style, Align, Color, Font, and Help.
9.1.3. Add our menu bar to the top of the current frame's content pane, similar to the way we did this with the tabbed pane.
9.2. Add a View class constructor. It should give our application the same look and feel that are defined in the system.
The constructor must not throw exceptions. It should just log them using ExceptionHandler.

Hint: To implement this task, use the UIManager class.

Run the application. Now you should see a menu bar at the top of the window. Some of the menu items (for example: Cut, Copy, Paste, Style (partially), Align, Color, Font) should already work. Be sure everything works and then continue developing the program.

Requirements:

The initMenuBar() method must created a new menu (JMenuBar object).
The initMenuBar() method must use MenuHelper to initialize the menu in the following order: File, Edit, Style, Align, Color, Font, and Help.
In the initMenuBar() method, the getContentPane() method should be used to add the newly created menu to the top of the current frame's content pane.
The View class constructor must use the UIManager class to set the look and feel.

package com.codegym.task.task32.task3209; import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument; import java.io.File; public class Controller { private View view; private HTMLDocument document; private File currentFile; public Controller(View view) { this.view = view; } public void init() {} public void exit() { System.exit(0); } public static void main(String[] args) { View view = new View(); Controller controller = new Controller(view); view.setController(controller); view.init(); controller.init(); } public static class ExceptionHandler { public static void log(Exception e) { } } }

public View(){
        try {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(View.class.getName());
        }
        catch (Exception f){

        }
    }

FYI, This worked for me. UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
