I have solved it. Actually I made scrollpane transparency to true and also make it viewport to transparency to true like this.
scrollPane.setOpaque (true);
scrollPane.getViewPort ().setOpaque (true);

Cannot create JAR file-Main method not found

I'm trying to create a JAR of the given class.
I am using a tool called JARBuilder as Eclipse was of no help in creating JAR files.
When I try to create the JAR, it says that main method could be found, despite the fact that the main method is clearly defined.
Can someone please advise?

Don't set bounds. Learn to use Layout Managers.
Paint the image on a JPanel instead of using a JLabel
Put the JButton on the JPanel. Give that JPanel a GridBadLayout
Override the getPreferredSize() of the JPanel.
To switch between images you can use a flag like boolean icon1, icon2, icon3;. and repaint the JPanel the mouseXxx. Something like this
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
icon1 = true;
icon2 = false;
icon3 = false;
imagePanel.repaint();
}
....
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
if (icon1) {
g.drawImage(image1, .....);
}
if (icon2) { ... }
if (icon3) { ... }
}
pack() your frame.
Use Java naming convention. variables start with lower case letters.
Here's an example
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.logging.*;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;

Change JButton look to custom picture

I fixed it. There was something wrong with the picture thats why I couldnt see it...

try {
Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon(new URL("http://i.stack.imgur.com/JMQMX.png")));
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
this worked for me at the moment when i tried using ur code. however, if you wanna load it locally, you should try:
Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("test.png")));
and test.png is in the same directory as the class file this code is in.
hope this helps :)

(I can't write comments yet so i write it as am awnser) I am not sure if this applies here, too but when i tried to change the icon of a Jlabel in my project, i had to set it invisible and after changing the icon visible again. Maybe it works if you try it like that.

Try this:
ImageIcon ic=new ImageIcon("C:/Users/Daniel/Pictures/Playnow.png")
JButton Playnow = new JButton(ic);
Playnow.setOpaque(false);

How can I add hyperlinks to a JTextPane without html?

I have a JTextPane with a StyledDocument "doc" and I want when I doc.isertString(doc.getLength(), "http://www.google.com", attrs)
the JTextPane to show a hyperlink that can be clicked. I put "http://www.google.com" and attrs as an example because I really have no idea how to go about it. Surprisingly, I couldn't find anything useful online(without html, or HTMLDocument, etc.). I don't like how swing works with html and I prefer not to use it.

}

Define your own AttributeSet to keep hyperlink info. It should include e.g. blue color and custom attribute. Let's name it "URL". Add some text with the AttributeSet to the StyledDocument.
Then add a mouse listeners (Both motion and mouse listener). For any mouse event you can use viewToModel() to get offset for specified mouse position. Get a leaf element (text) for the offset and check whether the text Element has the attributes.
If it has do your actions (e.g. set mouse cursor to hand or process click on the URL).

+1 to StanislavL answer.Here is simple approach using HTML.
Well its not complicated to use HTML tags in your java code.The other way round may be complicated.I have done a short EG, easy to perform and understand,you can modify it and make it fit for your purpose.
