You can still use setIcon but you will need to set the alignment to make the text appear over the image

button.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);

The easy way use SynthLookAndFeel as described here or you could go with creating a class that extends JButton and provide a new implementation of paintComponent(Graphics g)

One option is to subclass JButton, override paintComponent() method and paint the icon there.
