that is i've got an array of buttons and i want to replace two buttons (their location on the screen) by clicking on first and then clicking on the second to replace thier location i.e. when i click on button1 first (which is at the first location in a row of buttons on the screen) and then button5, then these two button should replace locations i.e. after clicking on button5 at the fifth location in a row of buttons button5 goes to the location of button1 and button1 goes to the location of button5.

Is there any way that i can do this without replacing their captions with each other as currently i can swap them by swapping thier captions.

If you are using breezy swing (not sure if it works on standard swing):

just use the setLocation() method with the appropraite button object.

ex

myButton.setLocation(1,1);
