Java : detect triple-click without firing double-click

Question

I have a JTable in which I want to call a function when a cell is double-clicked and call another function when the cell is triple-clicked.

When the cell is triple-c

You can do something like that, varying delay time:

public class ClickForm extends JFrame {

final static long CLICK_FREQUENTY = 300;

static class ClickProcessor implements Runnable {

    Callable eventProcessor;

    ClickProcessor(Callable eventProcessor) {
        this.eventProcessor = eventProcessor;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(CLICK_FREQUENTY);
            eventProcessor.call();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // do nothing
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // do logging
        }
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ClickForm f = new ClickForm();
    f.setSize(400, 300);
    f.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
        Thread cp = null;
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
            System.out.println("getClickCount() = " + e.getClickCount() + ", e: " + e.toString());

            if (cp != null && cp.isAlive()) cp.interrupt();

            if (e.getClickCount() == 2) {
                cp = new Thread(new ClickProcessor(new Callable() {
                    @Override
                    public Void call() throws Exception {
                        System.out.println("Double click processed");
                        return null;
                    }
                }));
                cp.start();
            }
            if (e.getClickCount() == 3) {
                cp =  new Thread(new ClickProcessor(new Callable() {
                    @Override
                    public Void call() throws Exception {
                        System.out.println("Triple click processed");
                        return null;
                    }
                }));
                cp.start();
            }
        }
    });
    f.setVisible(true);
}
}
