I'd go for JButton, since that already has much of the functionality needed.
2. Why I can't see those squares when I run this code?Your code was messed up partly by the forum formatting software. Since I could not be bothered trying to correct it and guess what you meant, I have not run the code.
When posting code or code snippets, XML/HTML or input/output, please use the code tags. The code tags help retain the indentation and formatting of the sample. To use the code tags, select the sample and click the CODE Button.
Also, don't use colors to highlight sections of code, use a single or multi-line Java comment instead.
