How to set a location of a JFrame using mouseListener?

Question

Hi,
I was wondering how i could set the location of a JFrame using the mouseListener? I know when i want to show a JPopMenu i can do:
pop.setLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
pop.setInvoker(null);
By using .setInvoker(); I can show the jpopup on the position that i clicked my mouse but this method is not available to the JFrame.
Should i do this with the Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize(); instead? I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this. If not i can code a workaround but thats not my first choice.
Thanks

Why do you need setInvoker() for a JFrame? What's wrong with just setLocation()?The problem is that i want to show my frame where i clicked my mouse but when i get the x,y from the mouselistener getX/Ymethods the frame doesn't show up on the location where i clicked with the mouse, instead it shows the frame in the location x,y NOT relative to the mouse.I see. Well if you're using Java 6, you can use the getXOnScreen() and the getYOnScreen() methods from MouseEvent.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/event/MouseEvent.html#getXOnScreen()
Otherwise you'll need to add the x and y coordinates of whatever component you're clicking on.I'm using Java 6, I tried your suggestion but i get the same value with getX/Y and getX/YOnScreen()
