using custom cursor image

[Ian]

Hi,
Is there a way to customise the cursor to use different images - I have a
number of gifs in the current directory of my source files which I would
like to use.

From what I understand of the API and the Java tutorial you can use the
various images/cursors from inside the API for cursors. But if I distribute
my program to another PC which does not have these images then the cursor
types may not be available(as not in their API images directory) . Basically
I need the cursor image to point to my gif file -- ./myImage.gif

Any pointers appreciated
regards

Distribute the image in your .jar file,
use Class.getResource("/myImage.gif")
to get an URL and you are in business.
