In the properties view, scroll down to "MenuBar Properties" and there's a property titled "Menu Items". The menu is created using JSON.

Sorry but I do not understand.
How do I access to "properties view" ?
I see "Main Properties" and "Border Properties".

Click to expand...

Click on MenuBar >> Properties >> Scroll down to MenuBar Properties >> Menu Items

Forgive me but I see no "MenuBar" in IDE (see attached picture)

The following steps:
1) Designer
2) Open Internal Designer
3) Add view
4) MenuBar
5) scroll MenuBar Properties
6) click Menu Items [...]

It appears a "multiline editor" with a generic outline of a menu with some items. But this menu is NOT what the program MenuTest examined.

@AlpVir
I just opened the project, and for that project you need the JavaFX SceneBuilder to edit the menu as it doesn't use the internal scene builder.

(There are two types of designers: the new Visual Designer and the old JavaFX SceneBuilder.)

Now everything is clear. I figured out how I can create menus through "Open Internal Designer >> AddView >> MenuBar >> etc".
The project MenuTest using an old method of creating the menu; not having installed Java FX Scene Builder can not be changed.
Instead (and this is what matters most) are now able to create my menus.
Thank you very much.
