Java checkers game?

[kikkoman]

Ok i'm making a java application that is the checkers game. I have a class for just the peices, it will know whether a peice can move and where, what to do when clicked, if its a king piece or not, and several other things. Well my question is how do i add each piece to the board so that when you click a piece it knows it's that object and not just the square u clicked in. As of right now i have a class to build the board and that's added to the content pane. If this isn't enough description let me know and i'll post the current code.

Could you use something like the Rectangle contains() method to detect if the click is on the image of a piece or not?
Do you change the cursor when it's over a piece? Same problem.
