Tower Defense Game UI

Im designing a tower defense game, so far i have the game logic figured out, i just need to coordinate my control panel and my game panel.

when there is a mouse click, I iterate through all my panels and check to see which panel the click happend in, that panel's response method is called.

im trying to be able to click on a "Button" in my control panel, and the next time i click on a point in the Game Panel, a new Tower is placed there, if that point is not on my creep's "path"

JAVA Code:

 public synchronized void handleMouseClick(MouseEvent e)
    {
        if(control.hasTower())
        {
            if(map.hasPoint(e.getPoint()))
                ;
            else
            {
                entityManager.add(new BasicTower(new Point2D(e.getX(), e.getY())));
            }
        }
    }

void handleClick(MouseEvent e) 
    {
        if(TB.hasPoint(e.getPoint()))
        {
            hasTower = true;
        }
        else
            hasTower = false;
    }

JAVA Code:

public boolean hasPoint(Point p)
    {
        if(p.x >= location.getX() && p.x <= location.getX() + width)
        {
            if(p.y >= location.getY() && p.y <= location.getY() + width)
            {
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
        else
            return false;
    }

Why not e.getComponent? Why iterate at all?
