In future Swing related questions should be posted into the Swing forum.

Is the second bit (in bold) a different question or the same question posed a different way?

Have you seen this http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html

Why don't you just add text to a label and then add a listener to the label?

If you want a hyper link type effect with the underline then you can use a JEditorPane which can display HTML. You can actually dress it to look like a button by tweaking various parts such as back ground colour and border.
