Best way to handle a MouseClick on JButton

Question

public class Square extends JButton {   
    ... 
}

What's the best way for a JButton to handle a MouseClick that changes the background color of itself? Do I want to add/overwrite an ActionListener/MouseListener/etc?

Answer 1

Yes, you will need to add an ActionListener and do your mumbo-jumbo in actionPerformed(). Use the setBackground() to change the background color. :)
