swing - Making a chess game in Java, I want to move the pieces -

so have images stored imageicon's on jbuttons. want user click on jbutton of piece want use , click on jbutton move there, how this?

i've tried using actionlistener imageicon proving complicated because have 2d array of jbutton images.

actionlistener actionlistener = new actionlistener() {             public void actionperformed(actionevent actionevent) {                  system.out.println(actionevent.getactioncommand());              }         };          jbutton[][] squares = new jbutton[8][8];         border emptyborder = borderfactory.createemptyborder();          (int row = 0; row < squares.length; row++) {             (int col = 0; col < squares[row].length; col++) {                  jbutton tempbutton = new jbutton();                  tempbutton.setborder(emptyborder);                 tempbutton.setsize(64, 64);                   squares[row][col] = tempbutton;                 squares[row][col].addactionlistener(actionlistener);                 panel.add(squares[row][col]);                  squares[0][0].seticon(new imageicon(boardgui.class.getresource("castle.png"), "castle"));                }         } 

try following code. don't know exact code working imageicons on jbuttons, gets ideas across:

jbutton piecetomovebutton = null;   //variable persists between actionperformed calls  public void actionperformed(actionevent actionevent) {     jbutton button = (jbutton)actionevent.getsource();      if (piecetomovebutton == null)    //if button press selecting piece move     {         //save button used in piece selection later use         piecetomovebutton = button;     }     else        //if button press selecting move     {         //move image new button (the 1 pressed)         button.imageicon = piecetomovebutton.imageicon         piecetomovebutton = null;    //makes next button press piece selection     } }
