As an alternative You can achieve this by registering MouseListener to the JButton and override mouseEntered() ,mouseExited() , mousePressed() and mouseReleased() method.For Example:

        final ImageIcon icon1 = new ImageIcon("tray.gif");
        final JButton button = new JButton(icon1);
        final int width = icon1.getIconWidth();
        final int height = icon1.getIconHeight();
        button.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
        {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent evt)
            {
                icon1.setImage((icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(width + 10, height,Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));
                //button.setIcon(icon1);
            }
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent evt)
            {
                icon1.setImage((icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(width , height,Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));
            }
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt)
            {
                icon1.setImage((icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(width + 5, height,Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));
            }
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent evt)
            {
                icon1.setImage((icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(width + 10, height,Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));
            }
        });
        button.setOpaque(false);
        button.setContentAreaFilled(false);
        button.setBorderPainted(false);
