Just in case you want to use this to pop up a popup menu, the way
NOT to do it is to check for button 3 from the mouse, as this is
not portable (ever checked how many buttons a Mac mouse has?).
Instead, you should check whether this is a popup mouse click, using
something like this inside BOTH of your mousePressed and
mouseReleased methods (don't ask we why it needs to be in both, I
just know that it has to be):
if (evt.isPopupTrigger())
// pop up your popup menu

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question and the answer is no.
