Problem with JLabel mousePressed()

Question

Hello
I want to display the name like a html look in the JPanel and acts like a button function. So I have used JLabel and gave mousePressed() but its not providing any action out of it.
In previous forms, I had seen JLabel is only for display and not for any actions. So how can I get the actionPerformed() functionality.
Please try to update me soon
Thanks

Try this
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class YourClass extends JFrame{
  /** Creates a new instance of yourClass */
  public YourClass() {
    JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("click me");
    super.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    super.add(myLabel);
    myLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        System.out.println("clicked!");
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    YourClass test = new YourClass();
    test.pack();
    test.setVisible(true);
}
