Java Mouse Event Right Click

On my mouse button, MouseEvent.BUTTON2 = middle click and MouseEvent.BUTTON3 = right click.

Is this in the case of a two-button mouse?

To avoid any ambiguity, use the utility methods from SwingUtilities :

SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(MouseEvent anEvent) SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(MouseEvent anEvent) SwingUtilities.isMiddleMouseButton(MouseEvent anEvent)

Yes, take a look at this thread, which talks about the differences between the platforms.

BUTTON3 same on all platforms, equal to the right mouse button. BUTTON2 is simply ignored if the middle button does not exist.

I have seen

 anEvent.isPopupTrigger()

. I am new to Java, so I'm glad to hear thoughts about this approach :)
