swing - Tab character in Java -

Finding a tab character using

jmenuItem using \ t But it is not printing.

I'm sure this is really something fundamental that I'm missing. Here is the code

  menuItem = new JMenuItem ("new \ tCtrl + N");  

Thanks

Instead, try it:

menuItem = new gemenitium ("new"); MenuItem.setAccelerator (KeyStroke.getKeyStroke (KeyEvent.VK_N, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK));

You should also add mnemonics to the utility:

  menuItem.setMnemonic (KeyEvent.VK_N);  

See specifically for more explanation.
