I'd like to have two separate methods get executed based on click count. Like this:

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
    System.out.println("debug: \t\t\tmouseClicked: (" + e.getX() + ", " +
e.getY() + ") ");
    System.out.println("debug: \t\t\tmouseClicked point: (" + e.getPoint() + ")");

    switch (e.getClickCount()) {
    case 1:
this.singleClick(e);
break;
    case 2:
this.doubleClick(e);
break;
    }

}

However, when I double click, mouseClicked() gets called twice, once with a clickCount of 1 and then with a clickCount of 2. I would think it would only get called once. Here is a simple program (dependent on swing 0.4.1 for the frame and other things not of importance to this testcase). You must put
/net/lighthome.eng/export/java/swing-latest/swing.jar in your classpath to compile this. If you don't want to compile it, the runnable class MouseTest is at in /net/arago.eng/ProjectsLocal/edburns/scratch/

Here's the code
