Block input events after selecting JTree node

Question

Hi,
I've got a common problem but didn't found any solution for it.
I try to block input events (key and mouse events) after the user clicks on a tree node in the TreeSelectionListener.
For normal clicks it works fine.
If the user make a double click than the blocking mechanism also blocks the mouse events to handle the additional expansion of the tree node.
Any solutions for this?
Thanks,
Steffen

I use the following code to blocking input events:
      waitTimer = new Timer(350, new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(awtEventListener,
              AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK | AWTEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_EVENT_MASK | AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
      waitTimer.setRepeats(false);
      waitTimer.start();The event listener looks like:
    awtEventListener = new AWTEventListener() {
      public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent anEvent) {
        if(anEvent instanceof InputEvent && anEvent.getSource() instanceof Component)  {
            ((InputEvent) anEvent).consume();
    };
