I have a JTable implementing DragSourceListener, DropTargetListener and MouseListener.
im draging and dropping within the same table.
How do i detect mouse release when the mouse is outside the jtable as i have to remove some custom painting on 2 cells.
It seems DragSourceListener takes over mouse events from MouseListener when in drag mode.
The jtable is the only component in a JDialog 150 x 150 in size, so its easy for a user to start dragging then go outside the dialog and release mouse button. This wouldn't be a problem but i have to remove some graphics painted on 2 of the cells, one cell which is painted with a green border which is start drag and the other is a green line representing the end location for the start drag cell to fit in between. Like Photoshops GUI layer order dialog.

Yes but only components that implement DropTargetListener.
This problem is only a problem because there should be a solution to this problem of mine at this thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=686536. But since i can't make it work i had to try it this way which is render my graphics on my table cell label in my TableCellRenderer but should be within DropTargetDragEvent.
