to avoid the obvious, you did:
JTable jt = new JTable();
...
jt.addMouseListener(ml);

right?

And BTW, how can I display the code properly in this site?

Obviously my code tags aren't working

You return is shift, control or alt is pressed.
But then you only check row if a meta key is pressed, which meta do you expect to be pressed?

Hmmm, it's working with the right button, but not the left button.

Yeap BobB, it's added, but still, it works only with the right button.

Do you know why?

Your also maybe better off using a selection listener, though it depends on your requirements.

objects:

I'm not sure if I understand you, but just in case, I tried executing the action if (e.isShiftDown()||e.isControlDown()||e.isAltDown())

But, that works only when the wheel button is pressed. That is, when you press on the mouse wheel so that it behaves like a button. But, it won't work then with either the left or right button.

Also, in case it helps at all, I'm using 1.4.2

How'd I use a Selection Listener?

And exactly what events do you want it to work for?

>> Why do you have this?

That was the example I found, and I thought it was appropiate. But it seems not to be

Selection listener is fired when the table selection changes.

Sorry that should have said:
Selection event is fired when the table selection changes.

to add a selection listener use:
table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener()

>> Why do you have this?

OK! That's it!

Now it works, only when the left button is clicked, just the way it should:

            // mouse listener to display popup JFrame with the notes belonging
            // to the Task from the selected row
            MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter()
            {
                  public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
                  {
                        if (e.isShiftDown()||e.isControlDown()||e.isAltDown()||(e.isMetaDown()))
                        {
                              return;
                        }
                        int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
                        int col = table.columnAtPoint(e.getPoint());
                        
                        if (col == 1)
                        System.out.println("The row number: " +      (row + 1) + " was clicked.") ;
                  }
            };            // end of mouse listener to display pop up JFrame

Now I just have to include the popup JFrame

And here I am again...
I've got a problem with the JFrame that I'm displaying.  It contains a String with some notes, which will be quite a few words.  But, at the same time, I wanted to limit the width of the JTextArea, so I used the method setColumns.

AND, when I run the program, it displays a single row; it does set the width to what I said, but there's no way I can display more than one row (and therefor, most of the text isn't display).

This is the code at the moment, anybody can see what's wrong?

            MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter()
            {
                  public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
                  {
                        if (e.isShiftDown()||e.isControlDown()||e.isAltDown()||(e.isMetaDown()))
                        {
                              return;
                        }
                        int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
                        int col = table.columnAtPoint(e.getPoint());
                        
                        if (col == 1)
                        {
                              System.out.println("The row number: " +      (row + 1) +
                                                                  " was clicked.") ;
                                                            
                              String testing = new String(pool.getNotes(row)) ;
                              JFrame popupJFrame = new JFrame();
                              // JTextArea(String text, int rows, int columns)
                              JTextArea taskTest = new JTextArea(testing) ;
                              taskTest.setColumns(30) ;
                              taskTest.setLineWrap(true) ;
                              taskTest.setWrapStyleWord(true) ;
                              taskTest.setEditable(false) ;
                              

                              popupJFrame.getContentPane().add(taskTest, "Center") ;
                              popupJFrame.setLocation(new Point(300, 300)) ;

                              popupJFrame.pack() ;
                              popupJFrame.setResizable(false) ;
                              
                              popupJFrame.show() ;
                        }
                  }
            };            // end of mouse listener to display pop up JFrame

I'd suggest adding your text area to a scroll pane.
