1This question is very vague. Can you give more details of what you exactly are trying to achieve? – Martijn Courteaux Dec 27 '11 at 13:59

How is your need different from the functionality provided by tool tips? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Dec 27 '11 at 14:00

I don't quite get it, don't you move your cursor _over_ something? Could you provide an image of what you want to achieve? – Thomas Dec 27 '11 at 14:00

@AndriyKushka, I'd be wary of introducing such an atypical behavior to such a commonplace component. – mre Dec 27 '11 at 14:50

To create a custom cursor, use the java.awt.Toolkit.createCustomCursor method.

public Cursor pointer() throws Exception {
int[] pixels = new int[16 * 16];
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(
new MemoryImageSource(16, 16, pixels, 0, 16));
Cursor transparentCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
image, new Point(0, 0), "invisibleCursor");
return transparentCursor;
}
