You could subclass JButton with MyJButton and give it a special attribute like :

String iconName ...

On creation of each MyJButton object, set the name of the icon. Example: icon1.gif

Then when a button is clicked, you'll have to decide whether or not consecutive buttons have the same icon name.
Example:

//when a button is clicked
this.changeIcon(...);
for( each neighbor of clicked_button )
    if( neighbor.iconName = this.iconName )
        neighbor.changeIcon(...)

If you want to save some time (and NOT extend JButton), you can use JButton's setName(...) and getName() methods.
