I want to replace a JButton by a JLabel and I want my code to perform some action when the JLabel is clicked.
When I had the JButton I used action listener to handle clicks on the button:
myButton.addActionListener(new clicksListener(arg1,this))
When I replaced myButton by myLabel I got the following error message in the Eclipse:
The method addActionListener(ChipsListener) is undefined for the type JLabel
But I do know that it should be possible to attach a click handler to the JLabel. Does anybody know how it can be done?

Is it possible to add actionListener to JLabel? I want to click and select Jlabels for further processing. Thanks. No you can't.
First off as @Sage mention in his comment a JPanel is rather a container than a component which do action. So you can't attach an ActionListener to a JPanel .
You can try : JLabel nameLabel = new JLabel("Name:"); nameLabel. addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() { //override the method public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent arg0) { // to do ......................... } }); thats the way I understand your question.
Add a MouseListener to the JLabel.
Because JLabel is a Component, you can add MouseListeners to it. Use that interface and write the mouseClicked event on your MouseListener to handle the click.
