Now I'm getting an IllegalArgumentException claiming that the "location is
null". The definition of the MainWindow tag is now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:MainWindow title="SemanticNotes" maximized="true"
xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml";
xmlns:ui="ch.lyrion.semanticnotes.desktop.ui"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<bxml:define>
<MenuBar xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
bxml:id="menuBar">
<MenuBar.Item buttonData="Testmenu">
<Menu.Section>
<Menu.Item>
<buttonData>
<content:MenuItemData text="New"
keyboardShortcut="CMD-N"/>
</buttonData>
</Menu.Item>
</Menu.Section>
</MenuBar.Item>
</MenuBar>
</bxml:define>
<Panel>
<bxml:include src="BookPanel.bxml" />
</Panel>
</ui:MainWindow>
