How to write java program to detect right click for Mac OS

Answer 1

Instead of using MouseEvent.BUTTON3, a bettter self docummenting approach is to use

if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(event))
   // do something

Also, if you are using this code to display a popup menu, then you should not be using this approach since each OS has different key strokes to inovoke the popup menu. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Bringing Up a Popup Menu.
