So I have a JPanel which has a mouseListener.

public class X extends JPanel
{
    public X() {
        add(new Y());
        addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
                System.out.println("X Triggered");
            }
        });
    }
}

public class Y extends JComponent
{
    public Y() {
        addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                System.out.println("Y Triggered");
            }
        });
    }
}

If I do not add the MouseListener in Y, the click event in X works fine. If I do add the MouseListener in Y, the MouseListener in X stops responding to clicks. What is wrong with my MouseListener?

Consider the solution `ParentPanel.this.processMouseEvent(e)` highlighted in the non accepted answer, not the one proposed into the accepted duplicate answer. – Jack May 23 '18 at 16:31
@Jack Is there a way without making an inner class? – QuyNguyen2013 May 23 '18 at 16:38
@Jack Does MouseAdapter also override MouseMotionListener? – QuyNguyen2013 May 24 '18 at 16:35
No, you've got `MouseMotionAdapter` for that. – Jack May 24 '18 at 16:38
