JTree is derived from JComponent and Component, so it inherits all of
their methods.  If you check Component, you will find the
addMouseListener() method.

You will need to add a MouseListener and respond to one of the MouseEvents
(mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked), and determine if the mouse
position is pointing to one of the JTree's nodes.  I think you should be
able to use the JTree getRowForLocation() method to do that.
