    Default How do I make a Jbutton invoke a method

    Hi, I'm new to Java and I am trying to write the code required for function roll to be called when rollButton is pressed and I have no idea how to do this. So I would appreciate if someone could help me. Thanks


    [CODE]mport javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.util.Random;


    [CODE][CODE][CODE][CODE]public class Dice extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private JButton rollButton;
    private JLabel leftDice,rightDice;
    private Random randomGen;
    public Dice() {
    super("Dice machine");
    rollButton= new JButton("Roll!");
    leftDice=new JLabel("",JLabel.CENTER);
    rightDice=new JLabel("",JLabel.CENTER);
    Container pane=this.getContentPane();
    pane.add(leftDice,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    pane.add(rightDice,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    pane.add(rollButton,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setSize(300,100);
    setVisible(true);
    randomGen=new Random(); // init number generator
    roll();
    }
    private void roll() {
    // generate random numbers between 1 and 6
    int left=randomGen.nextInt(5)+1;
    int right=randomGen.nextInt(5)+1;
    leftDice.setText(""+left);
    rightDice.setText(""+right);
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    //not sure what to write here exactly


    }
    public static void main (String[] args) {
    new Dice();
