How to handle both single click and double click from mouse

Question

hey,
I looked in past threads and didn't get a proper answer for capturing both single and double click from the mouse.
in most applications the single click action does not interfere with the double click action, for example in a text editor, single click sets the cursor in between the text, double click marks a word, triple click marks a sentence, they do not bother each other, they all can happen first the single then the double and then the triple, but what if i have a very distinct action for each of the actions, the e.getClickCount() returns every time the number of clicks and if i use
if(e.getClickCount()==1)
    doSingleClick();
if(e.getClickCount()==2)
    doDoubleClick();it will always do first the single click and then the double click, which works fine with the example i gave, but not with what i want to do, so i was thinking to over come this that i will use another thread to run my tasks if dt has past since the last click and by the last click counts to perform the correct action and go to sleep until the next mouse click notify it, what do you think?
run this to get what i mean...
package blah;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MouseClickTest {
     static long previousTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          JButton component = new JButton("Hit me, please");
          component.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){
                    if(me.getClickCount()==1)
                         System.out.println("Now I will do single click action");
                    if(me.getClickCount()==2)
                         System.out.println("Now I will do DOUBLE click action");
//                    System.out.println("Click count: " + me.getClickCount());
          panel.add(component);
          Launcher.launch(panel);
package blah;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Launcher {
     public static JFrame launch (Container contents, String title, Color backgroundColor) {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame (title);
          if (backgroundColor != null) {
               frame.setBackground (backgroundColor);
               contents.setBackground (backgroundColor);
          } else {
               frame.setBackground (contents.getBackground());
          frame.getContentPane().add (contents, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          frame.pack();
          frame.addWindowListener (new WindowAdapter() {
               public void windowClosing (WindowEvent e) {
                    System.exit (0);
          frame.setVisible (true);
          return frame;
     public static JFrame launch (Container contents, String title)      {
          return launch (contents, title, null);
     public static JFrame launch (Container contents, Color backgroundColor) {
          return launch (contents, contents.getClass().getName(), backgroundColor);
     public static JFrame launch (Container contents) {
          return launch (contents, contents.getClass().getName());
}
