I experienced a problem using the JButton.
Without thinking I used following two
functions, which did not work.

public void javax.swing.Jbutton.disable()
public void javax.swing.Jbutton.enable()


java.lang.Object
  |
  +--java.awt.Component
        |
        +--java.awt.Container
              |
              +--javax.swing.JComponent
                    |
                    +--javax.swing.AbstractButton
                          |
                          +--javax.swing.JButton


I traced the problem, the javax.swing.JComponent.enable()
function overides the java.awt.Component.enable() function.
These functions are Deprecated.

    void java.awt.Component.disable()
          Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by setEnabled(boolean).
    void java.awt.Component.enable()
          Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by setEnabled(boolean).
    void java.awt.Component.enable(boolean b)
          Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by setEnabled(boolean).

I used the replacement function which worked fin.
    void javax.swing.AbstractButton.setEnabled(boolean b)
