Painting on a JButton in java

I am trying to create a mancala game board. For the purpose of the game, is there any way I can create a JButton and then just paint on it? I don't want to use setIcon property

You need to create a custom class which extends from JButton and then override it's paintComponent method

See Performing Custom Painting, Painting in AWT and Swing and 2D Graphics for more details

Remember though, a button typically has a lot going on, borders, content etc, this makes performing custom painting on them a little more tricky..
