JButton ActionListener performs if- and else- statement

I am trying to program a basic Nine Men's Morris game in Java for school.
The GUI consists of 24 JButtons. The first Button, that is clicked, is supposed to set the starting position of a move, the second button the destination. I tried to create a bool and set it to true after a button was clicked once, and check, whether that boolean is true or false to determine, whether the Button should set the start or the destination.
However, when I tried it like that and printed Start and Dest to the console, they both were set to 0,1,0. I am fairly new to Java, so there might be quite some bad practice going on right there.
JButton button010 = new JButton("");
button010.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(!targ) {
setStart(0,1,0);
targ = true;
} else {
setDest(0,1,0);
targ = false;
}
}
});
button010.setOpaque(false);
button010.setContentAreaFilled(false);
button010.setBorderPainted(false);
button010.setBounds(222, 11, 47, 44);
contentPane.add(button010);

This is not an answer to you question, only a suggestion for a better design to remove the hardcoding in your listener code.
Why do you call your Boolean variable "targ". Since you have "start" and "dest" methods why are you creating a third variable name? I would suggest a better name is "start" so you know it is related to your start/dest methods. It would default to true, since that is the first value you are trying to set when you click a button.
So your custom Action might be something like:
class GameAction action = new Action()
{
private int value1;
private int value2;
private int value3;
public GameAction(int value1, int value2, int value3)
{
this.value1 = value1;
this.value2 = value2;
this.value3 = value3;
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if (start)
{
setStart(value1, value2, value3);
start = false;
}
else
{
setDest(value1, value2, value3);
start = true;
}
}
You would use more appropriate variable names.
Now all your logic is in a single class and if you ever need to change the logic it is contained in one place instead of 24 custom listeners.
Then in your code when you create the button you would do:
JButton button010 = new JButton("");
button010.addActionListener( new GameAction(0, 1, 0) );
Of course it would be even better to create your 24 buttons in a loop so you don't have to hardcode the parameters.

Not a real or full answer since your question is currently incomplete and cannot be answered as currently stated, but I'm testing this code out on how to create a 9 Man's Morris Grid using Swing, using layout managers, and with separation of the model from the GUI. I have created a 7 x 7 grid of JLabel and added it to a JPanel that uses GridLayout(7, 7). If the grid position matches a cell position in the 9 man's morris, then a grid cell is created, with mouse listener and all.
The following code creates this GUI:

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;

Image backImage = new ImageIcon("deck\\back2.png").getImage();
If I am the user of the applet when it is on the internet, the will cause the JRE to search for a File relative to the current user directory on my PC, either that or the cache of FF. In either case, it will not locate an image by the name of back2.png.
For fear of sounding like a looping Clip:
Resources intended for an applet (icons, BG image, help files etc.) should be accessed by URL.
An applet will not need trust to access those resources, so long as the resources are on the run-time class-path, or on the same server as the code base or document base.
Further
I have added full permissions in java.policy file.
This is pointless. It will not be workable at time of deployment unless you control every machine it is intended to run on. If an applet needs trust in a general environment, it needs to be digitally signed. You might as well sign it while building the app.
cant figure out why it doesnt load on html page.
Something that would assist greatly is to configure the Java Console to open when an applet is loaded. There is a setting in the last tab of the Java Control Panel that configures it.

Learning Java, want to be able to view class from webstite

I am learning how to use Java and I want to make a text scroller for my website.
I have found a similar scroller that I want to add but I want to look at the code to see how it was done.
The applet can be found here: http://www.javascriptkit.com/java/java20.shtml
The problem is when I try to open the class file within notepad the encoding or text shows up with strange characters instead of showing me the code.
Please can someone let me know if there is any possible way of me seeing the code for this class.
Thanks

That is a class file meaning it is compiled code so you can not see it's source.
In order to see the source, you need the .java file which is the file which you compile to get the byte code.
It seems the site is just providing the compiled class, and you never know using it they might have some hidden functionality in the class as well e.g to send information to the owner servers etc.

How to implement draggable tab using Java Swing?

How do I implement a draggable tab using Java Swing? Instead of the static JTabbedPane I would like to drag-and-drop a tab to different position to rearrange the tabs.
EDIT: The Java Tutorials - Drag and Drop and Data Transfer.

Curses! Beaten to the punch by a Google search. Unfortunately it's true there is no easy way to create draggable tab panes (or any other components) in Swing. So whilst the example above is complete this one I've just written is a bit simpler. So it will hopefully demonstrate the more advanced techniques involved a bit clearer. The steps are:
Detect that a drag has occurred
Draw the dragged tab to an offscreen buffer
Track the mouse position whilst dragging occurs
Draw the tab in the buffer on top of the component.
The above example will give you what you want but if you want to really understand the techniques applied here it might be a better exercise to round off the edges of this example and add the extra features demonstrated above to it.
Or maybe I'm just disappointed because I spent time writing this solution when one already existed :p

I liked Terai Atsuhiro san's DnDTabbedPane, but I wanted more from it. The original Terai implementation transfered tabs within the TabbedPane, but it would be nicer if I could drag from one TabbedPane to another.
Inspired by #Tom's effort, I decided to modify the code myself.
There are some details I added. For example, the ghost tab now slides along the tabbed pane instead of moving together with the mouse.
setAcceptor(TabAcceptor a_acceptor) should let the consumer code decide whether to let one tab transfer from one tabbed pane to another. The default acceptor always returns true.
/** Modified DnDTabbedPane.java
* http://java-swing-tips.blogspot.com/2008/04/drag-and-drop-tabs-in-jtabbedpane.html
* originally written by Terai Atsuhiro.
* so that tabs can be transfered from one pane to another.

#Tony: It looks like Euguenes solution just overlooks preserving TabComponents during a swap.
The convertTab method just needs to remember the TabComponent and set it to the new tabs it makes.
Try using this:
private void convertTab(TabTransferData a_data, int a_targetIndex) {
DnDTabbedPane source = a_data.getTabbedPane();
System.out.println("this=source? " + (this == source));
int sourceIndex = a_data.getTabIndex();
if (sourceIndex < 0) {
return;
} // if
//Save the tab's component, title, and TabComponent.
Component cmp = source.getComponentAt(sourceIndex);
String str = source.getTitleAt(sourceIndex);
Component tcmp = source.getTabComponentAt(sourceIndex);
if (this != source) {
source.remove(sourceIndex);
if (a_targetIndex == getTabCount()) {
addTab(str, cmp);
setTabComponentAt(getTabCount()-1, tcmp);
} else {
if (a_targetIndex < 0) {
a_targetIndex = 0;
} // if
insertTab(str, null, cmp, null, a_targetIndex);
setTabComponentAt(a_targetIndex, tcmp);
} // if
setSelectedComponent(cmp);
return;
} // if
if (a_targetIndex < 0 || sourceIndex == a_targetIndex) {
return;
} // if
if (a_targetIndex == getTabCount()) {
source.remove(sourceIndex);
addTab(str, cmp);
setTabComponentAt(getTabCount() - 1, tcmp);
setSelectedIndex(getTabCount() - 1);
} else if (sourceIndex > a_targetIndex) {
source.remove(sourceIndex);
insertTab(str, null, cmp, null, a_targetIndex);
setTabComponentAt(a_targetIndex, tcmp);
setSelectedIndex(a_targetIndex);
} else {
source.remove(sourceIndex);
insertTab(str, null, cmp, null, a_targetIndex - 1);
setTabComponentAt(a_targetIndex - 1, tcmp);
setSelectedIndex(a_targetIndex - 1);
}
