Hi,

Today I managed to run processing in eclipse and I found out how to get a mouse event in a class without extending it from PApplet. I am not sure if this is really the best way to do it, but it seems to work. It is important to include "java.awt.event.MouseEvent" in the header:

import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import processing.core.PApplet;

public class myClass {
PApplet parent;
myClass(PApplet p) {
parent = p;
parent.registerMouseEvent(this);
}
public void mouseEvent(MouseEvent event) {
switch (event.getID()) {
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED:
// do something for the mouse being pressed
break;
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED:
// do something for mouse released
break;
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED:
// do something for mouse clicked
break;
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAGGED:
// do something for mouse dragged
break;
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVED:
// umm...
break;
}
}
}
