You can implement the Border interface, using drawRoundRect() or drawOval() in paintBorder().

and, of course, set the border to the radio button: `radioButton.setBorder(new Border() {...});` – Mot Dec 02 '10 at 14:36

thanks thats one option, but im trying not to add my own implementation, as that would then limit reusability of the software by others.

i currently had JRadioButton.setBorder(new EchtedBorder(..)); JRadioBUtton.setBorderPainted(true); //to make it actually be drawn for the radiobutton.

but it then appears square, with the default radiobutton (thats round) inside.

I wondered if there was ay way to get the radiobutton to obay its natural roundness?

You'd have to implement your own `BasicRadioButtonUI`; `MetalRadioButtonUI` is an example. – trashgod Aug 09 '12 at 10:41

other option is to use images, which is what i think we did in the end. – f1wade Aug 09 '12 at 14:18
