Using a custom cursor

I've searched quite a few threads here but none have helped.

I have a few JFrames and each JFrame should have its own individual cursor, symbolizing which version of the program the user is using. These files are in /AndroidToolkit/resources. The files are all .cur files, so they're actually proper cursors and not just images.

I've tried a few methods of doing this, but I have succeeded. I've tried using ImageIO, Toolkit, and my last try was:

Cursor cCur = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(getClass().getResource("../resources/ImpressionCursor.cur").getFile()., null, null);

How can I do this in an easy way, which is easy for other people to understand, without me having to always comment it with 10k lines?

Thanks in advance, Beats

Solution

This is what you need, try this code 100% works for me on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it should work for you too:

public static void main(String[] args) {

        Toolkit toolKit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
        Image pencil = toolKit.getImage("pencil.gif");
        Cursor cursor = toolKit.createCustomCursor(pencil, new Point(0, 0), "Pencil");

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Cursor Test");
        frame.setSize(300, 300);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

        frame.setCursor(cursor);
        frame.setVisible(true);

    }
