Why isn't the JButton depressing?

I have a very simple example. A button on the bottom of the screen that says "hi" and when its clicked it prints "hello" to the console. However, When I press the button, it doesn't change visually. Its the same with the other JSwing interactors, but for a SSCCE, here you go.

import acm.program.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class SimpleGUI extends ConsoleProgram {

public void init() {
    JButton hi = new JButton("Hi");
    add(hi, SOUTH);
    addActionListeners();
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    String cmd = e.getActionCommand();
    if (cmd.equals("Hi")) println("Hello there sexy");
}
}

Appearance of Swing controls (including buttons) is controlled by the look-n-feel. This includes whether or not buttons look depressed when clicked.

This may help:
