MouseListener Outer JPanel with InnerPanels

Hi,

i'm new in GUI programming with JAVA and Netbeans, so i`ve got a problem that i can't solve:

In fact i have a JPanel (OuterPanel) that contains many other JPanels (Inner), the InnerPanels have a Tooltipp. Now the Problem is that my mouselistener that i added to the outer panel doesn't react if i click in the panel but on a inner panel.
how can i solve that.

for example:

public class Main {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        MyJFrame frame = new MyJFrame();
        MyJPanel pan = new MyJPanel(); //outer JPanel
        pan.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {

            @Override
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                System.out.println("Clicked:"+e.getClickCount());
            }
          
        });
      
        frame.add(pan);
        frame.setVisible(true);
     }
}
//_________________________________________________

public class MyJPanel extends JPanel{

    public MyJPanel() {
        setBackground(Color.green);

        Color[] colors = {
            Color.white, Color.lightGray, Color.gray, Color.darkGray,
            Color.black, Color.red, Color.pink, Color.orange,
            Color.yellow, Color.green, Color.magenta, Color.cyan, Color.blue
        };

        //fügt neun kästchen hinzu
        for (int i=0; i<9; i++) {
            JPanel test = new JPanel();
            test.setBackground(colors[i]);
            test.setToolTipText(colors[i].toString());
            this.add(test);
        }
   }
}
//____________________________________________________________
public class MyJFrame extends JFrame {
  
    public MyJFrame() {
        setTitle("MyJFrame");
        setSize(300,300);
     }
}
