Again Interesting JButton Query

See I am making a Dock and my dock items are basically JButtons

So to delete the Dock Item from my Dock i want to introduce a close button on each JButton

My query is

I want to add a Button in a JButton and at a particular location on that JButton

Eg:

JButton dockitem=new JButton("dockitem");

JButton close=new JButton("close");

Now i want to embed close in dockittem at right top corner so can anyone help me out :)

Buttons on top of other Buttons aren't interesting, they are confusing to the user. Better put a small 'X' button next to the first one or even better offer a choice to the user which one to close. (in case of physical user deficiencies).

kind regards,

How about nesting both buttons into a JPanel. BorderLayout could work

Without seeing your code and images, I'm not sure how we can begin to make suggestions here. Consider posting an SSCCE so we can see and run what you've currently have.
