Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I have a child component which has a mouse listener and a parent component with a mouse listener. However the child component consumes all the mouse events so the parent doesn't get them.

Is there a way for a child component to receive mouse events, then decided to pass them back up the component hierarchy so the parent can still receive them too?

I've spent the last two hours on Google and can't seem to find anything relevant.

Cheers, Eric
