this is my first post here ever <I cant believe i got anonymous as a user-name>
IDE = Netbeans

im trying to create a simple GUI.

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;
 
 
public class Main {
 
        public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Commands."); /*Create a frame with the title "Title" */
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); /*This is so the window closes when user clicks on the the X*/
        frame.setSize(650, 650); /*Create a frame of 500x500*/
        frame.setVisible(true); /*Set the frame visible*/
        frame.add(new JButton("NAMEHERE")();
 
    }
 
}

i want the lettering on the jbutton to be smaller i tryed like

 frame.add(new JButton("NAMEHEREI"))(frame.setSize(120,125);

But it dident work.
Help me please?
EDIT: Im fairly new to java.
Picture of what hapend when i tryed to run it

Instead of doing

 frame.setSize(650, 650); /*Create a frame of 500x500*/

it did this

 frame.add(new JButton("NAMEHEREI"))(frame.setSize(120,125);

A few things about your code. First, if you wish to change the size of the font in the JButton, you need to change the actual font of the JButton. Second, its better practice to add components to a JFrames content pane as opposed to the JFrame container. Both of these aspects are encorporated in the code snippet below:

JButton button = new JButton("BUTTON");
Font f = button.getFont();/*Be sure to import the java.awt package*/
button.setFont(f.deriveFont(8.0f));
frame.getContentPane().add(button);
