    Component c = components[i];
    if (c instanceof JButton || c instanceof JToggleButton) {
        if (!(c instanceof JCheckBox) && !(c instanceof JRadioButton))
            ((AbstractButton) c).setMargin(insets);
    } else if (c instanceof Container)
        setButtonInsetsRecursive(insets, (Container) c);

voidsetButtonSelected(ButtonGroup buttonGroup, int selected)
set Button Selected 
ArrayList<AbstractButton> buttons = Collections.list(buttonGroup.getElements());
if (buttons.isEmpty())
    return; 
if (selected < 0 || selected >= buttons.size())
    selected = 0; 
AbstractButton buttonSelected = buttons.get(selected);
buttonSelected.setSelected(true);
ActionEvent actionEvent = new ActionEvent(buttonSelected, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED,
...
voidsetButtonStyle(AbstractButton btn)
set Button Style 
getBasicFont();
btn.setFont(BASIC_FONT);
btn.setForeground(BASIC_BUTTON_COLOR);
btn.setBackground(BACKGROUND);
voidsetButtonText(ButtonGroup buttonGroup, List texts)
setter method for button text. 
int index = 0;
for (Enumeration<AbstractButton> buttons = buttonGroup.getElements(); buttons.hasMoreElements();) {
    AbstractButton button = buttons.nextElement();
    button.setText(texts.get(index).toString());
    index++;
voidsetHelpIDString(javax.swing.AbstractButton btn, String id)
set Help ID String 
btn.putClientProperty("HelpID", id);
voidsetHorizontalMargin(AbstractButton button, int hMargin)
Sets the left and right margin of an AbstractButton in a L&F-independent manner (some L&Fs set this value in the margin, while others ignore this property and use the border instead). 
Insets margin = button.getMargin();
margin.left = margin.right = hMargin;
Border empty = BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(margin.top, margin.left, margin.bottom, margin.right);
Border outer = button.getBorder();
Border compound = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(outer, empty);
button.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
button.setBorder(compound);
voidsetImageIcon(AbstractButton abstractButton, URL url)
set Image Icon 
if (url != null) {
    abstractButton.setIcon(new ImageIcon(url));
} else {
    abstractButton.setIcon(null);
voidsetMnemonic(AbstractButton actionComponent)
Translate the character following MNEMONIC_CHARACTER in the label by a mnemonic 
String componentLabel = actionComponent.getText();
int charPosition = getMnemonicCharPos(componentLabel);
if (charPosition >= 0) {
    actionComponent.setMnemonic(Character.toUpperCase(componentLabel.charAt(charPosition + 1)));
    actionComponent.setText(clearMnemonic(charPosition, componentLabel));
voidsetPreferredWidth(JComponent button, int minWidth)
Sets the minimum width of a JButton . 
Dimension size = button.getPreferredSize();
if (size.width < minWidth) {
    size.width = minWidth;
    button.setPreferredSize(size);
booleansetRadioButtonSelected(Window window, String buttonText)
set Radio Button Selected 
final JRadioButton rb = findRadioButton(window, buttonText);
if (rb == null)
    return false;
if (rb.isSelected())
    return true;
rb.doClick();
return true;
