this.getContentPane().add(b1);
show();
}

class AL implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
System.out.println("Hello !! u Pressed Me");
}
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
new JButtonTest();
}

}

The way to do this is to get all the ActionListeners that have been added to the button and then call actionPerformed on them. Here's some code showing how...

java.util.EventListener[] el = b1.getListeners( ActionListener.class );
for ( int i = 0; i < el.length; i++ ) {
    ActionListener al = (ActionListener )el[i];
    al.actionPerformed( null );
}
