How to create and use a new jbutton method?

Question

hi i'm making a program which has a lot of buttons so i decided to create a jbutton method, here it is
public JButton newButton(String url, String url2)
          URL imgURL = MachineInterface.class.getResource(url);
          ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL);
          JButton button = new JButton(icon);
          button.setBorder(null);
          Cursor cursor = new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR);
          button.setCursor(cursor);
          URL imgURL2 = MachineInterface.class.getResource(url2);
          ImageIcon icon2 = new ImageIcon(imgURL2);
          button.setPressedIcon(icon2);
          return button;
     }the button shows up alrite if i do it like this
panelEastSouth.add(tm.newButton("images/10p.png", "images/10pIn.png"));but i would like to do it like this
newButton button10 = new newButton("images/10p.png", "images/10pIn.png");
          button10.addActionListener(this);i want it like this so i can add actionlisteners to them.
how do i make this work?
thanks

Answer 1

newButton is a method returning a JButton, not a class, so it would be just
JButton button10 = newButton("images/10p.png", "images/10pIn.png");
button10.addActionListener(this);
