You should read it recursively, some time ago I had the same question and solve with this code:

public void proccessMenuNodeList(NodeList nl, JMenuBar menubar) {
    for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
        proccessMenuNode(nl.item(i), menubar);
    }
}

public void proccessMenuNode(Node n, Container parent) {
    if(!n.getNodeName().equals("menu"))
        return;
    Element element = (Element) n;
    String type = element.getAttribute("type");
    String name = element.getAttribute("name");
    if (type.equals("menu")) {
        NodeList nl = element.getChildNodes();
        JMenu menu = new JMenu(name);

        for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++)
            proccessMenuNode(nl.item(i), menu);

        parent.add(menu);
    } else if (type.equals("item")) {
        JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem(name);
        parent.add(item);
    }
}

Probably you can adapt it for your case.
