Java Timer suggestions needed

[Kaish]

Hello all,

I'm coding an application that tracks mouse movements (using
mouseListener and mouseMotionListener). I want to be able to time how
long a cursor remains on a certain component - for example, how long a
user keeps his cursor over a button.

Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Thanks.

Sure. There is a MouseEvent generated every time you enter and exit a
component with the mouse. Write a MouseListener that records the time
on enter and subtract that from the time on exit.
