> > How to get cursor position on screen?

    getLocationOnScreen returns the position of a component relative to the
    upper left hand corner of the screen.

    By using this in combination with the coordinates from a MouseEvent
    it is possible to determine the exact position of the mouse

    m_SourceComponent is the component providing the mouse events.

    Point ptOfRelease = getReleaseCoords( p_MouseReleased );


    protected Point getReleaseCoords( MouseEvent p_MouseReleased )
    {
     Rectangle rectSource = m_SourceComponent.getBounds();
     Point     ptSource   = m_SourceComponent.getLocationOnScreen();

     Point     ptScreenCoords = new Point();

             ptScreenCoords.x  = p_MouseReleased.getX() - rectSource.width;
             ptScreenCoords.x += rectSource.width + ptSource.x;

             ptScreenCoords.y  = p_MouseReleased.getY() - rectSource.height;
             ptScreenCoords.y += rectSource.height + ptSource.y;

             return ptScreenCoords;
   }
