I have a JPanel with little JPanels embedded within it. I have added a
RubberbandLine (from the Graphic Java book) to the top level JPanel.
When the user selects a certain mode, I want to be able to draw
rubberbands between the embedded JPanels. I can't figure out how to get
this to work. The embedded JPanels appear to be consuming the
MousePressed event and it never makes it to the RubberbandLine to start
the drawing. I read the section about firing events and I'm not getting
it - how do I pass the MousePressed event from the embedded JPanels to
the RubberbandLine? I cannot just call the MousePressed event handler as
it's an anonymous method within the class - not visible from outside the
RubberbandLine class.  BTW, the RubberbandLine does work when the
original click is not inside an embedded JPanel, but this isn't what I
want.

Thanks for the help.
