    Default Re: Clicking the image like a button

    Use the setIcon method of JButton to set the image. You can also use the setPressedIcon to have the icon change when the JButton is pressed. I recommend reading the Swing tutorial provided by Oracle for more information:
    How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)
    Alternatively you could draw your image on a JComponent and add a MouseListener to manage clicks.
