Stopping right click selecting tab in JTabbedPane

Question

Hello all,
This may be a really simple thing + I'm probably being thick, but is there a way to prevent a right click changing the selected tab on a JTabbedPane.
I tried consuming the MouseEvent, but that didn't seem to work. Couldn't find an answer anywhere else in the forums & couldn't see anything in the JavaDoc that looked as if it would help.
Answers on a postcard please......

You might be able to extend JTabbedPane and override setSelectedIndex().
I had to do this to work around a focus issue I had.
  This class extends JTabbedPane to correct a problem where it doesn't
  request focus when clicked on.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyJTabbedPane extends JTabbedPane {
  public void setSelectedIndex(int index) {
    Component comp = KeyboardFocusManager.
        getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner();
    //  if  no tabs are selected
    // -OR- the current focus owner is me
    // -OR- I request focus from another component and get it
    // then proceed with the tab switch
    boolean noTabSelected = getSelectedIndex()==-1;
    boolean hasFocus = requestFocus(false);
    boolean compIsMe = comp==this;
    if(noTabSelected || hasFocus || compIsMe) {
      super.setSelectedIndex(index);
}
