/** Simple example illustrating the use of JButton, especially
*  the new constructors that permit you to add an image.

public class JButtons extends JFrame {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new JButtons();
  public JButtons() {
    super("Using JButton");
    Container content = getContentPane();
    content.setBackground(Color.white);
    content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    ImageIcon cup = new ImageIcon("cup.gif");
    JButton button1 = new JButton(cup);
    content.add(button1);
    pack();
    setVisible(true);
    try {
      jbInit();
    catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
  private void jbInit() throws Exception {
}This is some example code I copied off of the internet and edited for a very basic example. The file cup.gif is located in the correct directory and this file will compile from the command line and show the button graphic but from not JBuilder. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.
