public class JButton
extends AbstractButton
implements Accessible
An implementation of a "push" button.
Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Action
s. Using an
Action
with a button has many benefits beyond directly
configuring a button. Refer to
Swing Components Supporting Action
for more
details, and you can find more information in How
to Use Actions , a section in The Java Tutorial .
See How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons
in The Java Tutorial
for information and examples of using buttons.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
information see Swing's Threading
Policy .
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeansTM
has been added to the java.beans
package.
