How to change appearance of pressed/clicked/selected button in Java?

I'd like to change the appearance of a button when it's in pressed/clicked/selected state.

To be more specific, I'd like to change it's border to BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder() when it' is pressed/clicked/selected.

How can I do this?

Please see the code below. It sets the border when pressed and resets it when released. You can also do this on mouseEntered / mouseExited.

button.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
  public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
    button.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
  }

  public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
    button.setBorder(null);
  }
});
