Karthik,
Assume you have MouseEvent in a variable "event"

int m = event.getModifiers();
if (m & InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK)   <----- detects button 1

Take a look at InputEvents - it has a lot of static
constants used for determining which button was pressed, if
CTRL, ALT or SHIFT were pressed, also etc.
