Image Button

[Rocco Balsamo]

Is there any way to place an image on a Button? Or is this not
possible?

Copied from the documentation for class JButton:
-----------------start copy----------------------------
JButton

public JButton(Icon icon)

Creates a button with an icon.
Parameters:
icon - the Icon image to display on the button
-----------------end copy-----------------------------

However, if you can't use Swing the answer appears to be No. But I suppose
you might be able to create a class that extends Button by making the button
transparent or invisible or something (override the paint() method to do
nothing?), placing the object of your class on top of your chosen Image, and
getting button clicks when the user thinks they're clicking on the image.
Haven't tried this myself, just an idea.
