Commonly Used Methods of Component Class

The document discusses common methods of several Swing components: - The Component class methods include adding components, setting size, layout, and visibility. - The JButton class declaration extends AbstractButton and includes constructors to create buttons with text or icons. Common AbstractButton methods set text, icon, enable/disable, and add action listeners. - The JLabel class declaration extends JComponent and includes constructors to create labels with text or icons. Common methods get/set text, icon, and horizontal alignment. - The JTextField class declaration extends JTextComponent and includes constructors to create text fields with or without initial text and columns.
