title: Put JLabel in front of Graphics 2D Rectangle in JPanel
body: <p>Is there any way to put the JLabel in front of the rectangle? Currently, the JLabel is underneath the rectangle.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my relevant code:   </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class MainMenu_South extends JPanel {
          MainMenu_BlueJay t; 
          JLabel start=new JLabel("START");
  
      @Override
      public void paint(Graphics g) {
          super.paint(g);
          Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
          g2d.setColor(Color.blue);
          g2d.drawRect(0, 30, 900, 30); 
          g2d.fillRect(0, 30, 900, 30);
      }
  
      public MainMenu_South(MainMenu_BlueJay t){
  
          setLayout(null);
          this.t=t;
          setBackground(Color.white);
  
          start.setForeground(Color.red);
          start.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));
  
          add(start);
          start.setBounds(100, 10, 100, 50);
          start.addMouseListener(ml);
      }
  
      MouseListener ml=new MouseListener() {
  
          @Override
          public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {//hover
             start.setForeground(Color.white);
          }
  
          @Override
          public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
              start.setForeground(Color.red);
          }
      };
  
  }
