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?

Use `JButton#setBackground()` to change the background color. – Braj Apr 26 '14 at 20:08

I've tried both, and both have worked, I'm just wondering what is the standard. – sir_thursday Apr 27 '14 at 15:48

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

just beware, that on some look and feels, setting the backgoround can have no effect ;) – MadProgrammer Apr 26 '14 at 20:17

That's what the OP wants to do. Right answer, just need to beware of it, that's all ;) – MadProgrammer Apr 27 '14 at 04:54
