     My guess is that the isPopupTrigger() method returns false, perhaps
because the system's/browser's UI doesn't report it as such.  In more
modern Java (the code is from a thirteen-year-old book ...) there's a
different, component-specific method: JPopupMenu.isPopupTrigger()
instead of MouseEvent.isPopupTrigger().

     It's also worth noting (probably not involved with your problem, but
one never knows) that the example constructs Swing components in code
that does not execute on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT).  In technical
jargon, this is known as a "No-No."  See
