First thing you need to realize that JSP is just a Java based view technology which enables outputting HTML/CSS/JS dynamically and that HTML is a markup language which can instruct the webbroser how to display the page elements.
As to your problem, you need the HTML <ul> element to represent a list. Then you can apply a good shot of CSS to style it the way you want. This is in HTML/CSS world also called "Suckerfish dropdowns".
Since the question is too broad, best I can do is to recommend you the separate concepts "HTML" and "CSS" properly and give you some tutorial links.
- W3schools HTML tutorial/reference
- W3schools CSS tutorial/reference

Is there any plugin or package with the help of which I can create some standard horizontal menus. I have searched the web and most of the places javascript is used for menu creation. – pradeep Feb 01 '11 at 13:01

I would have used [PrimeFaces Menubar](http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/menubar.jsf). However, it's based on top of [JSF](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2095397/what-is-the-difference-between-jsf-servlet-and-jsp) and another steep learning curve, certainly if you already aren't familiar with basic JSP/HTML/CSS/JS as proven by this question. If you are open to using jQuery (a brilliant JavaScript library), then checkout the many available [menu plugins](http://www.google.com/search?q=jquery+menu+plugin). – BalusC Feb 01 '11 at 13:06
