Answer 1

Implement MouseListener interface and use it mouseClicked method to handle the clicks on the JLabel.

label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()  
{  
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)  
    {  
       // you can open a new frame here as
       // i have assumed you have declared "frame" as instance variable
       frame = new JFrame("new frame");
       frame.setVisible(true);

    }  
}); 

Answer 2

create a label and add click event in it .

Something like this :

JLabel click=new JLabel("Click me");

 click.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
           JFrame jf=new JFrame("new one");
        jf.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        jf.setSize(new Dimension(200,70));
        jf.setVisible(true);
        jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        }
    });
