Changing a JButton text when clicked

I have created a class which extends JDialog, where I have some checkboxes and 3 buttons: accept, cancel, and select all.

When user clicks select all, every checkbox should get checked, and if clicked again, every checkbox should get unchecked. That's working fine, but i also want the text of the button to change between "select all" and "unselect all". I'm having troubles there, so when user clicks the button and text changes to "unselect all", the button dissapears.

I have reduced the class to its simplest form here:

    public class NodeSelectionCheckBoxJDialog extends JDialog {
    public enum Options {ACEPT, CANCEL};
    private Options selectedOption;
    private JButton allButton;
    private boolean allCheckBoxesSelected;
    private JButton aceptButton;

    public NodeSelectionCheckBoxJDialog(){
        super(MainFrame.getInstance());
        this.setTitle("Select nodes to apply");
        this.setModal(true);

        selectedOption = Options.CANCEL;
        nodeCheckBoxesSet = new HashSet<NodeCheckBox>();

        try {
            initComponents();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessage(), "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        }

        this.pack();
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        this.setVisible(true);
    }

    private void initComponents() throws Exception {
        this.getContentPane().add(createActionButtons(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    }

    private Component createActionButtons() {
        JPanel buttonsPanel = new JPanel();
        allCheckBoxesSelected = false;
        aceptButton = new JButton("Accept");
        aceptButton.setEnabled(false);
        buttonsPanel.add(aceptButton);
        aceptButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                selectedOption = Options.ACEPT;
                dispose();
            }
        });

        JButton cancelButton = new JButton("Cancel");
        buttonsPanel.add(cancelButton);
        cancelButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                selectedOption = Options.CANCEL;
                dispose();
            }
        });

        allButton = new JButton("Select all");
        buttonsPanel.add(allButton);
        allButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                if(allCheckBoxesSelected){
                    allCheckBoxesSelected = false;
                    allButton.setText("Select all");
                } else {
                    allCheckBoxesSelected = true;
                    allButton.setText("Unselect all");
                }
            }
        });

        return buttonsPanel;
    }
}

I can't see what's wrong. Any help?

The button does not disappear, it just becomes too wide to fit in the window. Just redraw the component when changing the button label :

@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if(allCheckBoxesSelected){
        allCheckBoxesSelected = false;
        allButton.setText("Select all");
    } else {
        allCheckBoxesSelected = true;
        allButton.setText("Unselect all");
        NodeSelectionCheckBoxJDialog.this.pack();
    }
}

another way is use ButtonModel that implemeted interesting methods for example

enter image description here

enter image description here

enter image description here

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder;

public class TextAreaInButton {

    private JFrame frame = new JFrame("sssssssss");
    private JButton tip1Null = new JButton(" test button ");

    public TextAreaInButton() {
        Border line, raisedbevel, loweredbevel, title, empty;
        line = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black);
        raisedbevel = BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder();
        loweredbevel = BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder();
        title = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("");
        empty = BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(1, 1, 1, 1);
        final Border compound;
        Color crl = (Color.blue);
        compound = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(empty, new OldRoundedBorderLine(crl));
        Color crl1 = (Color.red);
        final Border compound1;
        compound1 = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(empty, new OldRoundedBorderLine(crl1));
        Color crl2 = (Color.black);
        final Border compound2;
        compound2 = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(empty, new OldRoundedBorderLine(crl2));
        tip1Null.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 14));

        tip1Null.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 30));
        tip1Null.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {

            @Override

        tip1Null.setFocusPainted(false);
        tip1Null.setBorder(compound);
        tip1Null.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);

        tip1Null.getModel().addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {

            @Override

                ButtonModel model = (ButtonModel) e.getSource();
                if (model.isRollover()) {
                    tip1Null.setBorder(compound1);
                } else {
                    tip1Null.setBorder(compound);
                }
                if (model.isPressed()) {
                    tip1Null.setBorder(compound2);
                    String btnText = (tip1Null.getText());
                    if (btnText.equals("Selected")) {

                    }
                }
            }
        });

        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
