The method above is in your subclass of JPanel, or did I misunderstand you?

You probably wanted to override method
protected void processMouseMotionEvent(MouseEvent)
or
public boolean mouseDrag(Event e, int x, int y) // deprecated
of class Component.

Class JPanel has or inherits *no* method
void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
Hence your method overrides nothing and therefore is not called.
