MouseEvents and KeyEvents in the same form is not working

Question

Hello!
I'm newbee in java althought i've bee programing for a long time in other languages, C, C++ wich i'm proud of.
Now i land on java and there are a lot of cuestions (nothing that cant be solved by trying and reading).
But today i hitted my head against all posible solutions and nothing (but bad mood) came out.
The code with trouble is this...
public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame
    public NewJFrame()
        initComponents();
    private void initComponents() {
        jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
            public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                formKeyPressed(evt);
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                formKeyReleased(evt);
            public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                formKeyTyped(evt);
        jButton1.setText("jButton1");
        jButton1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
                jButton1MouseClicked(evt);
        pack();
    private void formKeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
        Integer i = evt.getKeyCode();
    private void formKeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
        Integer i = evt.getKeyCode();
    private void formKeyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
        Integer i = evt.getKeyCode();
    private void jButton1MouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        Integer i = evt.getButton();
    private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
}In debug mode i cant listen to mouse events and key events in the same form. Is that normal ?
In case this is normal, how can i surround this "problem" and make it work.
Thanks a lot in ahead.

There is my SSCCE

public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame
    public NewJFrame()
        initComponents();
        setFocusable(true);
        requestFocus();
    private void initComponents() {
        jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
            public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                formKeyPressed(evt);
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                formKeyReleased(evt);
            public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                formKeyTyped(evt);
        jButton1.setText("jButton1");
        jButton1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
                jButton1MouseClicked(evt);
        javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());
        getContentPane().setLayout(layout);
        layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGap(0, 400, Short.MAX_VALUE)
            .addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
                .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                    .addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                    .addComponent(jButton1)
                    .addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE)))
        layout.setVerticalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGap(0, 300, Short.MAX_VALUE)
            .addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
                .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                    .addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                    .addComponent(jButton1)
                    .addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE)))
        pack();
    private void formKeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                             
        setTitle(String.valueOf(evt.getKeyCode()));
    private void formKeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                               
        setTitle(String.valueOf(evt.getKeyCode()));
    private void formKeyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                                
        setTitle(String.valueOf(evt.getKeyCode()));
    private void jButton1MouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        setTitle(String.valueOf(evt.getButton()));
    private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new NewJFrame().setVisible(true);
}It's quite simple, its suposed to show on the windows title the KeyCode (if there is any) or the MouseButton when pressed.
The problem is: it doesnt work... (if i comment out the jButton1 related code, that means that i dont listen to MouseEvents & dont add the MouseAdapter as MouseListner to the form, the KeyEvents are raised and i can listen to them - but there are no MouseEvents - if i run the SSCCE like above i can listen to the MouseEvents, but cant listen to the KeyEvents. Can you tell me why?
Just before posting i realized it was a focus issue ! The button got the focus and got all the events redirected towards him ! I solved it with the code
        jButton1.setFocusable(false);and it finally worked !
Thanks!
