Java Swing register to event type

Question

In Java Swing I can register a listener to a certain gui event as follows

guiElement.addMouseListener(myListener);

but what if I want to automatically register to all the mouse events in my GUI application?
should I register myListener to each element?
In other words what I am looking for is something like

myListener.registerToEventType(MouseEvent.class)

Any idea?
Thank you

Answer 1

but what if I want to automatically register to all the mouse events in my GUI application?

@see AWTEventListener, there are Mouse & Key Events

should I register myListener to each element?

yes is better than to redirect, consume or using SwingUtilities for apply MouseEvents to the derised JComponets, notice code could be longer than annonymous listener added to each of JComponents separatelly
