As far i know, there is no easy way of doing it, you will need to override the "paintComponent" method of the JButton class to aint your image, if you only want to display an image and behave like a button, you can add a JPanel wich draws the image (clicky) and add a MouseListener/MouseAdapter to handle the "mousePressed" event
