  1. POUnknown exception in custom JButton, in java (swing)
    primarykey
    data
    text
    <p>I have tried to create a custom JButton. I tried to paint its caption via the paintComponent method but i did not like the font rendering of this method. So I added a JLabel to my button which worked fine in first place but after removing the parts for the paintString stuff the compiler throws errors i do not know how to fix/solve. Also what can I improve?</p> <p><strong>The JButtons code:</strong></p> <pre><code>import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D; class
