Hello,
have a look:import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ClickPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener
     public static void main(String[]args)
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Click-Panel");
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
          frame.getContentPane().add(new ClickPanel());
          frame.setBounds(200,200,400,400);
          frame.setVisible(true);
     public ClickPanel()
          addMouseListener(this);
          setBounds(200,200,100,100);
          setBackground(Color.CYAN);
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
          System.out.println("clicked");
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
          System.out.println("entered");
          setBackground(Color.ORANGE);
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
          System.out.println("exited");
          setBackground(Color.CYAN);
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
          System.out.println("pressed");
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
          System.out.println("released");
}regards,
