Ribbon/Command tab

[mitchiexlolz]

i want to make a menubar similar to that of MS OFfice.
I have downloaded some Executable JAR files that tells me they can help me,
but as I run the codes, nothing happens.

Can you please teach me how make a ribbon menu bar.?
or give me a link that really works.
I need that for my thesis. Thank You!

"nothing happens" is a bit thin to go on. What jars and what code?

here's the link to the tutorial and it also links you to the download page.

Personally, I have no interest in playing with some tutorial to see if I can recreate "nothing happens". Perhaps someone else does. I can cause nothing to happen by just sitting here at my desk; it doesn't really help resolve your issue though.

Post your code and describe what isn't happening.
