Oh where did my MouseEvents go?
I am trying to intercept MouseEvents from a JFrame containing a VisAD graph by registering a MouseListener on the glass pane. The problem is that I can't seem to get the glass pane to intercept the events with a VisAD graph in the frame. It does however work with other components. After doing some investigating, using the example P2_01 code provided by Ugo Taddei, it seems to only seems to malfunction with the DisplayImplJ3D, which is what I'm using. I can get the MouseEvents by adding the below code, but not when I change the display to DisplayImplJ3D. 

    jframe.getGlassPane().addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter(){
        public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent evt ){
            System.out.println("MOUSE CLICKED");
        }
    });
    jframe.getGlassPane().setVisible(true);

Any idea how to get MouseEvents using DisplayImplJ3D?

I included both sources with P2_01.java containing the 3D display

Thanks
Bruce
