How to target mouse events to the deeper JComponents while it is targeted to a JComponent that has a mouse listener

In Swing, mouse events are automatically targeted to the deepest component that has mouse listeners. How to target them to the deeper components again while there is a component that has mouse listeners and is added on top of others?

It should be done without setting the component invisible or removing its mouse listeners because it is a transparent JPanel that should do some works depending on mouse events.

dispatchEvent() is useful only when the target component is known(i.e. the next deeper component).

You can use the getParent() method to get the next deeper comoponent.

You can also use the SwingUtillities.getAncestorOfClass(...) to find a specific parent class.
