I can not get a JPopupMenu to fire becuase I can not get a MouseEvent
to the associated MouseAdapter. I will post the Sun demo code for
PopupMenuDemo because it demonstats the problem just as well as my
application. There should be a popup menu that appears when one
right clicks in the main window. It doesn't appear!
