- ## Method Details

  - ### mouseClicked

    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
    Called for a mouse click event. If the component is read-only (ie a browser) then the clicked event is used to drive an attempt to follow the reference specified by a link.
    Specified by:
      `mouseClicked` in interface `MouseListener`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the mouse event
    See Also:
      - `MouseListener.mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)`

  - ### mouseDragged

    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
    Description copied from class: `MouseAdapter`
    Invoked when a mouse button is pressed on a component and then dragged. `MOUSE_DRAGGED` events will continue to be delivered to the component where the drag originated until the mouse button is released (regardless of whether the mouse position is within the bounds of the component).

    Due to platform-dependent Drag&Drop implementations, `MOUSE_DRAGGED` events may not be delivered during a native Drag&Drop operation.

    Specified by:
      `mouseDragged` in interface `MouseMotionListener`
    Overrides:
      `mouseDragged` in class `MouseAdapter`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the event to be processed

  - ### mouseMoved

    public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
    Description copied from class: `MouseAdapter`
    Invoked when the mouse cursor has been moved onto a component but no buttons have been pushed.
    Specified by:
      `mouseMoved` in interface `MouseMotionListener`
    Overrides:
      `mouseMoved` in class `MouseAdapter`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the event to be processed

  - ### activateLink

    protected void activateLink(int pos, JEditorPane editor)
    Calls linkActivated on the associated JEditorPane if the given position represents a link.

    This is implemented to forward to the method with the same name, but with the following args both == -1.

    Parameters:
      `pos` - the position
      `editor` - the editor pane
