Hello,

I am trying to add a JButton to an old desktop application I made using Netbeans.
I want this button to show some caption, so I added it in the properties of the object, using the properties window of the jbutton on the Netbeans IDE , property "text".
No matter what I do, resize the button , alter properties or whatever,the caption doesn't appear.
Can anyone explain me what could be a possible reason ?
And can anyone explain me why other jbuttons also with text properties defined in the IDE correcly show their captions?
Thank you

Is the button not appearing at all, or just the text that you've added to it not appearing on the button?

The button appears correctly and seems to have the right specified size, but no text appears in the caption ... I don't think it's related to the button's size as even a text of one single character isn't showed .....

Found solution on another forum. It seems to be a NetBeans bug , as I was almost sure. When you set the text property in design mode, then you better clean your project : maybe the compilation doesn't work properly otherwise.
