How to add own Listener?

Question

Hi!
The problem is that I have inherited the class MyTrayIcon from TrayIcon with implementing of MouseListener interface to handle mouse double click. But TrayIcon doesn't have method 'addMouseListener' as MyTrayIcon doesn't. So, how can I add listener is this case?

Answer 1

How about looping through the array of listeners and
removing it if it's an instance of ListListener?
if (eventListeners[index] instanceof ListListener)
removeMouseListener(eventListeners[index]);I thought of that, but as I said i my post, eventListeners[] is protected.
How about writing your own ListListener in the
appropriate package which does precisely nothing, and
making sure it goes in the CLASSPATH before the
package you're supposed to use?Nice idea, but unfortunately, when I submit the assignment I have no way of making sure that it does go into the classpath before the package.
Thanks for your help, but I think I'll have to stick with the workaround.
It's not too hard:  public static void setListData(DefaultListModel model, Object data[])
    model.clear();
    for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
      model.addElement(data);
