Thread: Is it possible for me to simplify this code to not use "super" here - I did not understand this

public class Reset extends JButton {
Reset() {
super("Reset");
super.setText("Reset");
int h = 20, w = 20;
int x = 0 * 20; int y = 7 * 30;
setBounds(x, y, h, w);
addActionListener(new ResetActionListener()); setVisible(true);
}
private class ResetActionListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
ConnectClient.reset();
}
}
}

Do you have a question?

super("text") can only be called once and it has to be the first line of the method/constructor.

is there an alternative to using super in the code snippet above

Yes. Do not extend JButton, use one instead. There is absolutely no point extending JButton if that's all you do.

In addition to the suggestion on extending JButton when it is not necessary, the two lines of code:
super("Reset");
super.setText("Reset");
The call to super with a String creates a JButton with the text set to "Reset"
The call to super.setText changes the text from "Reset" to "Reset"
You can use the super.setText("Reset") and delete the call to the constructor, or delete this line and leave the constructor call with the desired text.
