Mouse Adapters

• What if you just want to listen to mousePressed?
• Extend MouseAdapter
  

  public class MouseAdapter implements MouseListener
  { 
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event) {} 
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {}
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event) {}
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event) {} 
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event) {} 
  }
  

• Component constructor adds listener:
  

  addMouseListener(new
     MouseAdapter()
     {
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) 
        {
           mouse action goes here
        }
     });
