Read the JButton API there are methods to change the icon on a mouse rollover, if thats what you are trying to do. Search the API for methods containing "icon" to see what your options are.

If you just want to know how to write a MouseMotionListener, then read the section from the Swing tutorail on How to Write a Mouse Motion Listener for a working example.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking?

Your button is like any other JButton:

buttonForPicture.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
    @Override
    public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {

    }

    @Override
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {

    }
});

That catches movement events for the whole button, not just the image.
