How to change jbutton text color

Question

I am writing a simple minesweeper game and now it works, but I am working on fairly detailed details, for example, so that each number is different in color.

I continue to encounter errors when I try to set the text color on JButton . I can easily change the text and background, but not the color of the text.

The part that keeps everything spoiled:

 total = Integer.toString(count); jb.setText(total); if(count == 1) jb.setTextColor(Color.blue); if(count == 2) jb.setTextColor(Color.green); if(count == 3) jb.setTextColor(Color.red); 

For some reason my mistake is:

 MS.java:109: error: cannot find symbol jb.setTextColor(Color.blue); ^ symbol: method setTextColor(Color) location: variable jb of type JButton MS.java:112: error: cannot find symbol jb.setTextColor(Color.green); ^ symbol: method setTextColor(Color) location: variable jb of type JButton MS.java:114: error: cannot find symbol jb.setTextColor(Color.red); ^ symbol: method setTextColor(Color) location: variable jb of type JButton 3 errors Process javac exited with code 1 

This happens whenever I try to compile, but when I change it to say setBackgroundColor instead of setTextColor , it works fine.

setTextColor - undefined for JButton. To set the color of JButton text, you can use setForeground .

 button.setForeground(Color.RED);
