import javax.swing.*;
   
   import java.awt.Event.*;

    public class menu {
   
       public static void main(String[] args){
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("Menu");
         frame.setVisible(true);
         frame.setSize(400,200);
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      	
         JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();
         frame.setJMenuBar(menubar);
      	
         JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
         menubar.add(file);
         JMenuItem exit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
         file.add(exit);
      	
      	
         JMenu help = new JMenu("Help");
         menubar.add(help);
         JMenuItem about = new JMenuItem("About");
         help.add(about);
      	
         class exitaction implements ActionListener{
             public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
               System.exit(0);
            }
         }
         exit.addActionListener(new exitaction());
      }
   }

the error i get is as follows

menu.java:27: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class ActionListener
location: class menu
         class exitaction implements ActionListener{
                                     ^
menu.java:28: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class ActionEvent
location: class exitaction
             public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
                                          ^
menu.java:32: addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener) in javax.swing.AbstractButton cannot be applied to (exitaction)
         exit.addActionListener(new exitaction());
             ^
3 errors

 ----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
 ----jGRASP: operation complete.

Does anyone also have any links to any good guides on how to do random access files in java..All i want is basic and to the point.

I think you have a typo in your second import it should be a lowercase 'e' in event.

// ...
import java.awt.event.*;

I'd be tempted to say your import statement is incorrect.

It should be:
[PHP]
import java.awt.event.*;
[/PHP]

And NOT:
[PHP]
import java.awt.Event.*;
[/PHP]

You should also really follow the standard Java convention for naming classes; i.e. CamelCase names beginning with an uppercase letter.

EDIT: I didn't see the other reply
