Mouse release event on jtable if its pressed outside jtable

Question

Is there any way to to catch the mouse release event on JTABLE if the mouse has been pressed on any other window.
If Its pressed on jtable it can catch mouse release but if if its pressed out side than no mouse event is generated like mouse move and release if I drag mouse over jtable
I have used mouse motion as well as click listeners but to no avail.
Thanx in advance

You could create a generic listener to add to all
components (or possibly an event queue or something)
to get all mouse release events and refire the event
to the component the mouse is really over.One way to do this would be the following:
    AWTEventListener globalMouseListener = new AWTEventListener() {
        public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent event) {
            MouseEvent me = (MouseEvent)event;
            if( me.getID() == MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED ) {
                System.out.println("Mouse relased at: " + me.getPoint());
                System.out.println("Source: " + me.getSource());
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(
            globalMouseListener, AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK);Now, the source of the MouseReleased event will be the component on which the mouse was pressed, but once you have the coordinates you can probably transform them and find out if the mouse was released over your table using one or more of the SwingUtilities.convertPoint methods.
On the other hand, maybe there is a far simpler way of doing it than this...
