Intercepting mouse events on JComboBox

Anyone know how to intercept a mouse event on a JComboBox? Specifically, I
am trying to give a different functionality if the Component is
right-clicked upon (MouseEvent.isMetaDown()) but I cannot find in the source
where this might occur to override it? Thanks, Ike

JComboBox contains 2 Components:
- javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxButton
- javax.swing.CellRendererPane

MetalComboBoxButton is JButton.
