Is it possible for a mouse listener to exist without a GUI interface?
I wanted to try something for a small program I'm writing. I'm trying to write a mouse listener that can detect if the right mouse button is pressed without having to write a gui. I've implemented the MouseListener class, but the event doesn't seem to fire if I don't extend JPanel or JFrame. Any suggestions?

You might want to look into this: Toolkit (Java Platform SE 6)
But you might also want to evaluate whether your approach is really the best one.
Edit- I'm not sure the AWTEventListener will work without a GUI either, but it might be a good jumping off point. But like I said, you might just want to change your approach.

Thanks, but I implemented it in a different way.
