How do I create a JButton solely on one pane that prints "Hello

Question

Every time I try to do this, it gives me an error that "Change Listener cannot be converted to Action Listener" and even if I implement ActionListener to the class... it still gives me another error

Is there a way to create a JButton only on the pane "Encryption" that when pressed prints "Hello"

This is my code:

import javax.swing.*; 
import java.awt.*; 
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent; 
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;  

public class SwingDemo extends JFrame    { 
   public static void main(String args[]) { 


  JFrame frame = new JFrame("Encryption/Decryption Software");
  JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
  JPanel panel1, panel2;
  panel1 = new JPanel();
  panel2 = new JPanel();
  tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.blue); 
  tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.white);
  tabbedPane.addTab("Encryption", panel1);
  tabbedPane.addTab("Decryption ", panel2); 
  frame.add(tabbedPane);
  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  frame.setBounds(200,170, 500,250);
  frame.setVisible(true);

  tabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
      if(tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex() == 0){

        panel1.removeAll();

        panel1.setLayout(null);

        JLabel initial_text = new JLabel("Enter text to be encrypted:");
        JLabel final_text = new JLabel("Final text:");
        JLabel key = new JLabel("Key:");

        JTextField text_field = new JTextField(100);
        JTextField key_field = new JTextField(100);

        panel1.add(initial_text);
        panel1.add(final_text);
        panel1.add(key);
        panel1.add(text_field);
        panel1.add(key_field);

        initial_text.setBounds(10, 20, 300, 50);
        final_text.setBounds(10, 150, 600, 50);
        key.setBounds(10, 58, 300, 50);
        text_field.setBounds(178, 30, 230, 30);
        key_field.setBounds(38, 72, 36, 25);




      }
    }
  });
 }
}

to detect a click you need to add an MouseListener no a ChangeListener

Like this

import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.*; 
import java.awt.*; 
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent; 
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;  
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;

public class SwingDemo extends JFrame    { 
   public static void main(String args[]) { 

JFrame frame = new JFrame("Encryption/Decryption Software");

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Encryption/Decryption Software");

    JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
    JPanel panel1, panel2;
    panel1 = new JPanel();
    panel2 = new JPanel();
    tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.blue);
    tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.white);
    tabbedPane.addTab("Encryption", panel1);
    tabbedPane.addTab("Decryption ", panel2);
    frame.add(tabbedPane);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setBounds(200, 170, 500, 250);
    frame.setVisible(true);

    tabbedPane.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
        @Override
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
            System.out.println("Hello");
        }

        @Override
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        }

        @Override
        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
        }

        @Override
        public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
        }

        @Override
        public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
        }
    });
}
