Help on JSlider!

Question

Hi all,
I have a standard JSlider and I have the following problem:
When I click on the mouse, the JSlider value increase/decrease by ~10 toward my mouse.
What I would like is this:
When I click on the JSlider, the JSlider value becomes right away the value where I clicked.
Can it be done?
Thanks alot!

I know this is not an entirely satisfactory solution because it depends heavily on the look and feel used but here goes :import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.SliderUI;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicSliderUI;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
public class ArthaxTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          final JFrame frame = new JFrame(ArthaxTest.class.getName());
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          final JSlider slider = new JSlider(0, 100);
          slider.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                    SliderUI sliderUI = slider.getUI();
                    if (sliderUI instanceof BasicSliderUI) {
                         BasicSliderUI basicSliderUI = (BasicSliderUI)sliderUI;
                         if (slider.getOrientation() == JSlider.HORIZONTAL) {
                              slider.setValue(basicSliderUI.valueForXPosition(e.getX()));
                         } else {
                              slider.setValue(basicSliderUI.valueForYPosition(e.getY()));
                         e.consume();
          frame.setContentPane(slider);
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    frame.setSize(400, 300);
                    frame.show();
}
