card-game

I'm developing an italian card game using the mvc pattern. I have the class GameFrame that contains the view. The user's card are buttons (JButton objects). I have 3 controllers:

GameController: to control the game in general. Contains the game loop.
HumanPlayerController: to control the user input
ComputerPlayerController: contains the AI of the computer
PlayerController: is an interface with the makeTurn() method. It's implemented by HumanP.C. and ComputerP.C.

HumanPlayerController implements ActionListener too. But what is the right way to access to the GameFrame buttons? I need it for understand which card was chosen.

GameFrame and HumanPlayerController are in different packages. Should i make the JButtons public?
