How to draw a filled circle in Java?

I have a JPanel with a Grid Layout. In the "cells" of the grid I can put different elements (for example JButtons). There is no problems with that. But now I want to put a filled circle in some of the cells. I also would like to relate an ActionListener with these circles. In more details, if I click the circle it disappears from the current cell and appears in another one. How can I do it in Java? I am using Swing.

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
   super.paintComponent(g);
   Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
   // Assume x, y, and diameter are instance variables.
   Ellipse2D.Double circle = new Ellipse2D.Double(x, y, diameter, diameter);
   g2d.fill(circle);
   ...
}

Here are some docs about paintComponent (link).

You should override that method in your JPanel and do something similar to the code snippet above.

In your ActionListener you should specify x, y, diameter and call repaint().

/***Your Code***/
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
/***Your Code***/
    g.setColor(Color.RED);
    g.fillOval(50,50,20,20);
}

g.fillOval(x-axis,y-axis,width,height);
