The following code shows how to create a Hyperlink Label.

Example


import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
/*from  w  w w. j  a va2s .co m*/
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws MalformedURLException {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Popup JComboBox");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    frame.add(new JHyperlinkLabel("http://java2s.com"));
    frame.setSize(300, 60);
    frame.setVisible(true);

  }
}

class JHyperlinkLabel extends JLabel {
  private Color underlineColor = null;

  public JHyperlinkLabel(String label) {
    super(label);

    setForeground(Color.BLUE.darker());
    setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
    addMouseListener(new HyperlinkLabelMouseAdapter());
  }

  @Override
  protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);

    g.setColor(underlineColor == null ? getForeground() : underlineColor);

    Insets insets = getInsets();

    int left = insets.left;
    if (getIcon() != null)
      left += getIcon().getIconWidth() + getIconTextGap();

    g.drawLine(left, getHeight() - 1 - insets.bottom,
        (int) getPreferredSize().getWidth() - insets.right, getHeight()
            - 1 - insets.bottom);
  }

  public class HyperlinkLabelMouseAdapter extends MouseAdapter {
    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
      System.out.println(getText());
    }
  }

  public Color getUnderlineColor() {
    return underlineColor;
  }

  public void setUnderlineColor(Color underlineColor) {
    this.underlineColor = underlineColor;
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
