Alright so my professor posted up an assignment but the reference code that we're supposed to use is confusing me. He made a JFrame and inside that Jframe he put in a button, but the beanclass for that button is the subclass JHoverButton.Java which extends JButton. When I try to do that in my code, I can't get the Bean Class to be my own sub class. I've tried custom creation code, I've tried binding and I've looked around on stack overflow but I couldn't really find an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is what my teacher posted 
This is where I'm stuck.
Any help would really be appreciated, thank you!
