So it may not do what you want because JToggleButton is designed for 
radio buttons and check boxes.  What you describe is desired behaviour 
for those UI items.

Try going back to a regular old JButton.  You'll have to manaully set 
the icon, but that doesn't sound like any more work than what you've 
already tried.

What you want to do is use MouseEvents.  You may have to specifically 
enable them.  See the Java docs:

MOUSE_RELEASED is what you want, I think.
