Adding a MouseListener or MouseMotionListener to my JLabel that is inside of a Jpanel in my checkers-like board?

To fix this add listener to the Motion class JLabel.

MouseListener and MouseMotionListener define two different sets of events. In order for your listener to get both sets, you have to register for both...using something like this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
