How can I control the mouse cursor in Java?

Question

Not the mouse events.

Answer 1

Use the java.awt.Robot class. It has the moveMouse() method. Handy for automated testing, self-running demonstrations, etc.

Answer 2

If you are talking about moving the cursor yourself, there's no simple way to do that.

However, if you just want to change the shape of the cursor, you can use the setCursor method of the Component class. See the link below.

Answer 3
