Try this:

aJTable.rowAtPoint(evt.getPoint());

If you only ever care about listening to selections on the JTable:

jTable.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
        int sel = jTable.getSelectedRow();
    }
});

Does this still work if it's in column or cell selection mode? – Paul Tomblin Oct 29 '08 at 12:29
It should, but it also allows to more more with in reaction to the click. The "answer" will need some kind of listener so you know when to read the value. – javydreamercsw Jul 12 '12 at 22:04
