How to disable Events

Question

I want to disable mouse events to be performed on my JFrame. How Should I do this? I used disableEvents method of Component class. But id doesn't function.
Here is the code I am using
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Text extends JFrame
     Container cp;
     Text()
          cp = getContentPane();
          addMouseMotionListener(new ML());
          disableEvents(AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK);
          setSize(400,400);
          setVisible(true);
     class ML extends MouseMotionAdapter
          public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me)
               System.out.println("mouse dragged");
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new Text();
In the console Mouse dragged is being printed
Is there any other way to do it.
Help needed
Thanks in advance

You can make the glasspane of the JFrame visible after adding a mouselistener to the glasspane.... of course, the mouselistener has to do nothing if you really want all mouse events completely disabled.
to apply to your example would make it something like this:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Text extends JFrame implements MouseListener,MouseMotionListener
Container cp;
Text()
cp = getContentPane();
getGlassPane().addMouseMotionListener(this);
getGlassPane().addMouseListener(this);
setSize(400,400);
setVisible(true); // sets the frame visible
getGlassPane().setVisible(true); // sets the glasspane visible.
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me)
System.out.println("mouse dragged");
// of course, you also need dummy implementations of other methods that MouseListener and MouseMotionListener require...
// mouseClicked(), mousePressed(), mouseReleased(), etc ....
public static void main(String[] args)
new Text();
