If you are using Java8, you can try this.

JButton french = new JButton("French");
french.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
        System.out.println("Button french clicked!");
    }
});
french.addActionListener(button -> System.out.println("Button Click listener..."));
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Button Listener Test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(french, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(250, 250);
frame.setVisible(true);
