i tried serializing JButton and restoring it during the next run, but it doesn't seem to work. are there issues with deserializing a JBUtton?

Just a warning: serialization of GUI components like JButton is not meant

for long term storage, nor for exchange between systems that may have

different versions of the JVM (since the serialization format is not guaranteed

to be stable between versions).

See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JButton.html

Use XMLEncoder and XMLDecoder to serialize and store it if you're worried about different formats between JVMs.

what were you hoping to achieve by serializing a JButton, anyway?
