If you don't want to implement ActionListener you can add anonymous listener to your button like this:

 JButton startButton = new JButton("Start");
 JButton stopButton = new JButton("Stop");
 JButton pauseButton = new JButton("Pause");
 startButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
            //start action logic here
        }
    });
 stopButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
            //stop action logic here
        }
    });
 pauseButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
            //action logic here
        }
    });

And this solution have to work :)
