Getting mouse coordinates from MouseListener 
Is there any function in MouseListener that returns the x- and/or y-coordinates of the cursor relative to the origin of a JPanel which currently has the focus? ¡Ayúdenme, por favor! Beware of the Rancor. I'm not kidding.
If it doesn't compile, try saying "By the power of MegaMan!!!" <this has kinda worked for me, actually...>
Scotland is NOT North Britain, Glasgow does NOT rhyme with "cow", and Robbie Burns is...well, if you don't already know who he was, you're kinda screwed.

The MouseEvent getX() and getY() methods will return the coordinates relative to the source of the event. If your panel is not that source, you will have to compute the coordinates yourself by adding them to the coordinates of the source (which also has getX() and getY() methods) within that panel. It just depends on the layering of your components and which is the source of the mouse event. This tutorial has more info if you need it:
