Just add the row and column data to each listener. You could add an explicit constructor, but I suggest adding a little method (which may have more added to it later).

            buttons[i][j].addActionListener(e(i, j));
...
private ActionListener e(final int i, final int j) {
    return new ActionListener() {
        // i and j available here
        ...

(In JDK8 you should be able to use a lambda to reduce the syntax clutter.)

And then renaming it with a better name.
