     Pressed fires when the mouse button goes down, Released and
Clicked fire when it goes back up again.  Try this:

	Mouse onto listening component
	Press a button
	W-a-i-t
	Release the button

... and note the time stamps on the various events.  You can also
play around with multiple buttons, sliding the mouse onto the
listening component with a button already down, and so on -- I'm
sure a little experimentation will clarify things.  (Disclaimer:
I have no clue about Swing/AWT and touch devices.)
