How to add an ActionListener to the ImageJ menu

[Piotr Wendykier]

Hello,

I'm trying to add an ActionListener to the ImageJ menu, but my code
does not work:

MenuBar menuBar = IJ.getInstance().getMenuBar();
Menu menu = menuBar.getMenu(0);
menu.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        //TODO
    }
});

It looks like the only ActionListener that is added to the menu is ij.ImageJ.
In my plugin I want to respond to ImageJ menu events (in particular, I
need to know when new window was opened).

Thanks,

Piotr Wendykier

Plugins can implement the ImageListener interface to detect when  
image windows are opened or closed. There is an example at <http://
rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/image-listener.html>.
