JList Right-click shows menu (Use, drop, cancel)

Question

I've been scouring the internet for this answer. I have a simple JList with items inside it. When I right-click, I want a menu to pop-up that says "Use, drop, cancel" or something of that nature. HOWEVER, I'm stumped.

The code below will produce a simple JList with a few items inside. I tried adding a right-click in the code but it doesn't work. Help?

Here is what I have so far:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import javax.swing.*;



public class inv extends JApplet implements MouseListener {

    JList listbox;



     public void init()
     {


    String  listData[] = { "Item 1","Item 2","Item 3","Item 4" };
listbox = new JList( listData );

     listbox.addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter()
     {
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        {
            if ( SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e) )
            {
                listbox.setSelectedIndex(getRow(e.getPoint()));
            }
        }
     });

    listbox.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);


        add(listbox);
                    listbox.setVisible(true);

            listbox.setFocusable(false);

     }



     private int getRow(Point point)
     {
        return listbox.locationToIndex(point);
}

      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
      }


     public void stop()
     {
     }

     public void paint(Graphics g)
     {
     }

}

I do not know what you mean. Here is code that seems to work like you specify, but apart from taking out any number of redundant or buggy statements, it is pretty much what you posted.

/*
<applet code='inv' width='200' height='200'>
</applet>
*/
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import javax.swing.*;

public class inv extends JApplet { //implements MouseListener {

    JList listbox;

     public void init()
     {


    String  listData[] = { "Item 1","Item 2","Item 3","Item 4" };
listbox = new JList( listData );

     listbox.addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter()
     {
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        {
            System.out.println(e);
            if ( SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e) )
            {
                System.out.println("Row: " + getRow(e.getPoint()));
                listbox.setSelectedIndex(getRow(e.getPoint()));
            }
        }
     });

    listbox.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
        add(listbox);
                    // unnecessary
                    //listbox.setVisible(true);

            listbox.setFocusable(false);
     }



     private int getRow(Point point)
     {
        return listbox.locationToIndex(point);
}

/** Why implement MouseListener, while adding a MouseAdapter?
Do you have ANY idea what your doing?

      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
      }

      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
      }
*/

    /** What is this nonsense supposed to achieve?
    Don't override empty methods with empty implementations!
     public void stop()
     {
     }
     */

    /** What is this nonsense supposed to achieve?
     public void paint(Graphics g)
     {
     }
     */
}
