You have to use the method getModifiers():
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if(e.getModifiers()==InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK) {
System.out.println("Left button");
}
if(e.getModifiers()==InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK) {
System.out.println("Center button");
}
if(e.getModifiers()==InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK) {
System.out.println("Right button");
}
}
