How to simulate mouse movement in selenium using java

Question

I have a requirement that when a certain automation script is run, the browser should show the cursor moving from one field to another as the script moves ahead. I am not sure about what exactly I need to do to get it done. I used the Action class to implement it but it's not working.

Please find the code I have implemented below:

public void MouseHover(WebElement Mouse,WebDriver driver) throws InterruptedException
{
    Actions act = new Actions(driver);  
    act.moveToElement(Mouse).build().perform();
    System.out.println("Curser movement Performed Successfully");
}

What you have done with the actions builder is to perform a mousehover an element. But what you really need is different. Google it correctly. — Vignesh Paramasivam, Jul 10 '14 at 05:48

The java.awt.Robot class can be used to programmatically move the user's mouse (among other things). See: Link.

For example:
Robot r = new Robot();//construct a Robot object for default screen r.mouseMove(1360, 7);//move mouse to java coords 1360, 7 r.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);//press the left mouse button r.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);//release the mouse button
