public class JPopupMenu
An implementation of a popup menu -- a small window that pops up
 and displays a series of choices. A JPopupMenu is used for the
 menu that appears when the user selects an item on the menu bar.
 It is also used for "pull-right" menu that appears when the
 selects a menu item that activates it. Finally, a JPopupMenu
 can also be used anywhere else you want a menu to appear.  For
 example, when the user right-clicks in a specified area.
 
For information and examples of using popup menus, see How to Use Menus in The Java Tutorial.
 Warning:
 Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 of all JavaBeansTM
 has been added to the java.beans package.

ComponentFocusListener objects.
 This method is not called unless focus events are enabled for this component. Focus events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
FocusListener object is registered
 via addFocusListener.
 enableEvents.
 
 If focus events are enabled for a Component,
 the current KeyboardFocusManager determines
 whether or not a focus event should be dispatched to
 registered FocusListener objects.  If the
 events are to be dispatched, the KeyboardFocusManager
 calls the Component's dispatchEvent
 method, which results in a call to the Component's
 processFocusEvent method.
 
 If focus events are enabled for a Component, calling
 the Component's dispatchEvent method
 with a FocusEvent as the argument will result in a
 call to the Component's processFocusEvent
 method regardless of the current KeyboardFocusManager.
 
Note that if the event parameter is null
 the behavior is unspecified and may result in an
 exception.

lightWeightPopupEnabled property,
 which by default is true.
 By default, when a look and feel displays a popup, 
 it can choose to
 use a lightweight (all-Java) popup.
 Lightweight popup windows are more efficient than heavyweight 
 (native peer) windows,
 but lightweight and heavyweight components do not mix well in a GUI.
 If your application mixes lightweight and heavyweight components,
 you should disable lightweight popups.
 Some look and feels might always use heavyweight popups,
 no matter what the value of this property.
