Button + menu in one component

Yes.

Create a Jpanel, (directly from JButton may work) and implement javax.swing.MenuElement. If the button (in the JMenu) is not itself a menu you only have to over-ride MenuElement methods as so

public Component getComponent(){return this;}

public MenuElement[] getSubElements(){return new MenuElement[0];}

public void menuSelectionChanged(boolean isIncluded){}

public void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent event, MenuElement[] path, MenuSelectionManager manager){}

public void processMouseEvent(MouseEvent event, MenuElement[] path, MenuSelectionManager manager){}

Good luck. Bamkin
