Java Mouse Adapter - event handling -

Hi i have a JPane containing 100 JButtons.  The initial rollover icon for each button is a right arrow.  I need to change the rollover icon to a down arrow if the user clicks the right-mouse button, back to right arrow if clicked again and so on.

I created an inner class "MouseHandler".  However it does not do anything when I click the right mouse button.  Can you guys let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.


MouseHandler class starts at line 101

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class HomeOcean extends Ocean implements ActionListener {
 
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	final boolean home = true;
	boolean horizontal;
	Coordinate coordinate;
	Ship carrier, battleship, submarine, destroyer, patrolBoat;
	final ImageIcon arrowDown = new ImageIcon("images/arrow_down.png");
	final ImageIcon arrowRight = new ImageIcon("images/arrow_right.png");
