irregular shaped components

[Scott Presley]

I've got a requirement to build a component resembling a circular pizza. I need to be able to attach a mouse listener to each individual �slice� If the pizza was square, I could simply represent each �slice� as a JPanel, but since the slices aren�t square, a JPanel really doesn�t make sense. Does anyone know if I could extend JComponent to form an irregular (non-square) component?

One additional note... there are more requirements than just mouse listening, so simply tracking the mouse position isn't a viable solution...
