Is there any sample that explains how to properly wrap up JMenuBar in a module and use it for custom navigation? The Component example that comes with Ignition SDK is not very helpful in this regard. Any help is much appreciated.

No, we don’t have a specific example. However, JMenuBar is a JComponent and can be added to a Container like any other JComponent. So you can make your own component that has a JMenuBar inside of it:`JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
p.add(menubar, BorderLayout.NORTH);`
