Getting multiple mousePressed events with one click

[BPMan]

I have the following code:
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
{
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
{

System.out.println("MousePressed");
}});

and when i first open my program and i click on the Canvas i get one mousePressed event...
but if I resize or click a button and then click back on the canvas I will get multiple moused pressed events.
Why is this happening and how can i fix it?????
Thanks

Why not just use the mouseClicked() event instead if you require "click" events ?

i need mouse pressed and mousereleased or whatever it is...my problem is it is giving multible mousepressed, i am not sure if it is giving multiple mouse clicks or not but it should give the same amount....
anyways i have to used mousepressed...
any thoughts on why i might be getting multiple events on one click?

Because when you are resizing a window, you are "pressing the mouse" constantly. Its not a click, its a constant press.
