swing - java animation trouble getting the x and y cordinates of the mouse -

so wrote code im not sure of mouse listener goes , how loop program. im trying achieve particle explosion passing x , y coordinates of mouse when it's clicked. want loop till program closes cant figure out. far got 1 explosion main class (frame)

import java.awt.color; import java.awt.event.mouseevent; import java.awt.event.mouselistener; import javax.swing.jframe;   public class animationofexplosingsquares extends jframe implements mouselistener{ private int x; private int y; animationofexplosingsquares(){       add(new explosingsquares(x,y));         setbackground(color.black); }  public static void main (string[] args){  animationofexplosingsquares frame = new  animationofexplosingsquares(); frame.settitle("squares"); frame.setlocationrelativeto(null); // center frame frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close); frame.setsize(1280, 800); frame.setvisible(true); }  @override public void mouseclicked(mouseevent me) {     while(x>0){     this.x=me.getx();     this.y=me.getx();     } }  @override public void mousepressed(mouseevent me) {     throw new unsupportedoperationexception("not supported yet."); }  @override public void mousereleased(mouseevent me) {     throw new unsupportedoperationexception("not supported yet."); }  @override public void mouseentered(mouseevent me) {     throw new unsupportedoperationexception("not supported yet."); }  @override public void mouseexited(mouseevent me) {     throw new unsupportedoperationexception("not supported yet."); }  } 

the explosingsquares class

import java.awt.graphics; import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.arraylist; import javax.swing.jpanel; import javax.swing.timer;   public class explosingsquares extends jpanel implements actionlistener  { private int x; private int y;   private timer timer = new timer(20, this);   private arraylist<square> squares=new arraylist<square>();   explosingsquares(int x,int y){      this.x=x;     this.y=y;     for(int i=0; i<100;i++){    square squ = new square(x,y);      squares.add(squ);   }   timer.start(); }  public void paintcomponent( graphics g ){  super.paintcomponent( g );  for( square square : squares )    {      square.boom();  g.setcolor( square.getcolor() );  // update square's location      g.fillrect( square.getxcoord(), square.getycoord(),(int)square.getsize(), (int)square.getsize());  } }  @override public void actionperformed(actionevent ae) {     repaint(); } } 

the square class

  import java.awt.color;   import java.util.random;     class square {     private int width;     private int height;     //direction of x cordinate     private random random= new random();   private   int randomnumber=(random.nextint(25)-12);      //direction of y cordinate    private  random rand= new random(); private     int rando=(rand.nextint(25)-12);    private int x;     private int y;     private double size=50;     color c=new color((int)(math.random()*256),(int)(math.random()*256),(int)(math.random()*256));        square(){        }      square(int width, int height){          this.width=width;          this.height=height;             }       square(int width, int height,color c){          this.width=width;          this.height=height;          this.c=c;        }      public void setwidth(int width){          this.width=width;      }      public void setheight(int height){          this.height=height;      }       public void setsize(double size){          this.size=size;      }        public void setcolor(color c){          this.c=c;      }      public int getxcoord() {       return x+width;       }      public int getycoord(){       return y+height;       }         public double getsize(){         return size;     }      public double getheight(){         return size;     }     public color getcolor(){         return c;     }          public void boom(){         this.x+=rando;         this.y+=randomnumber;         this.size-=1;        }   } 

swing uses single thread painting , event handling. blocks thread executing, prevent event dispatch thread form processing repaint requests.

the while loop in mouseclicked event stop program running.

i suggest use javax.swing.timer instead. see concurrency in swing more details
