Did you look at the the API docs for JMenuItem? Did you find any methods which would help you set the enabled state? (hint)

Are you writing netbeans code or java code?
Do yourself a favor and chuck out those drag and drop style IDEs. Hand coding is best.

Create an Action, AbstractAction for example. (Action has string or icon or both).
Remember this action in a local variable.
Construct your JMenuItem from that action.
Call someAction.setEnabled(false) whenever you need.
Cheers
