The MouseListener interface is your friend for this. You can just implement mousePressed and mouseReleased functions. The MouseListener interface has the following methods that you can play around with:

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent mouse){ }   
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent mouse){ }
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent mouse){ }
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent mouse){ }
