@JavaBean public class JXButton extends JButton implements BackgroundPaintable

A Painter enabled subclass of JButton. This class supports setting the foreground and background painters of the button separately.

For example, if you wanted to blur just the text on the button, and let everything else be handled by the UI delegate for your look and feel, then you could: 

 JXButton b = new JXButton("Execute");
 AbstractPainter fgPainter = (AbstractPainter)b.getForegroundPainter();
 StackBlurFilter filter = new StackBlurFilter();
 fgPainter.setFilters(filter);

If either the foreground painter or the background painter is set, then super.paintComponent() is not called. By setting both the foreground and background painters to null, you get exactly the same painting behavior as JButton.
