Hi there,

I'm working on a project where I'm saving to file a subclass of JPanel,
which in turn contains other objects. All the objects being saved in the
project implement Serializable.  I have no problem saving to file and
re-opening the file. But some functionality of the objects are lost!  For
instance, all the objects have an inner class that extends MouseAdapter,
like this:

class ItemListener extends MouseInputAdapter
 {
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
    { System.out.println("mousePressed");
      if(type != InputType.TEXTBOX)
        JTestComposer.setEditor(MyComponent.this);
    }
 }

Once I open the file and click on the object, this mousePressed(....) method
is supposed to fire. But it doesn't.  The call to
JTestComposer.setEditor(MyComponent.this); actually brings up a Properties
dialog box for this object. I can't get the Properties dialog box though if
mousePressed(...) doesn't fire.

What's the reason for this? How do I fix it?
