title: How can I pass mouse events on a translucent JWindow to the JFrame underneath?
body: <p>I am creating a Firefox style drag and drop tabbed pane based on <a href="http://java-swing-tips.blogspot.com/2008/04/drag-and-drop-tabs-in-jtabbedpane.html" rel="nofollow">this example</a>. To implement the scaled tab images as you drag I am using a JWindow. I want the image to be visible when you drag anywhere on the desktop so I have to use a heavyweight component instead of drawing on the glass pane like most examples I have seen.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I drag the JWindow captures mouse events and interferes with drag and drop listeners that are on the JFrame below. Is there a way I can get the JWindow to resdispatch the mouse events so they activate the drag listeners on the JFrame below (like would happen if I did use the glass pane)?</p>
