Or, more like your requirement:
JButton myButton = new JButton("<html><font color=\"red\">Hello World</font></html>");
JButton myButton = new JButton("<html><font color=\"red\">Hello World</font></html>");

When I want to create a button I do the following
Button MyButton= new Button("Hello");
I am not using JButton.
Button MyButton= new Button("Hello");
I am not using JButton.
If you're not using Swing, you can't do this. If you are, the following will create a button with a red italic label:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/**
*Description of the Class
*
* @author protean
* @created 29 April 2002
*/
public class TestApplet extends JApplet {
/**
*Description of the Method
*
* @since
*/
public void init() {
try {
getContentPane().setBackgr
getContentPane().add(new JButton("<html><font color=\"red\"><em>Hello World</em></font></html>")
this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//public void paint(Graphics g) { }
}
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public void init() {

this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//public void paint(Graphics g) { }
}
To do what you want with AWT you'll need to handle the painting of the button yourself.
