import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;

public class MouseClickEventDemo extends JFrame {
    public MouseClickEventDemo() {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new MouseClickEventDemo().setVisible(true));
    }

    private void initComponents() {
        setTitle("Handling Mouse Click Event");
        setSize(500, 500);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        final JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
        textArea.setText("Click Me!");

        textArea.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.NOBUTTON) {
                    textArea.setText("No button clicked" + "\n");
                } else if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
                    textArea.setText("Button 1 clicked" + "\n");
                } else if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON2) {
                    textArea.setText("Button 2 clicked" + "\n");
                } else if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3) {

                }

                textArea.append("Number of click: " + e.getClickCount() + "\n");
                textArea.append("Click position (X, Y):  " + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY());
            }
        });
