If u want to add custom image of cursor use following code -

Loading the Cursor Image
The image for the custom cursor needs to be loaded into an Image object.

Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("image.png");  // place image in root folder of ur project

Defining the Cursor Hot Spot
The cursor hot spot is used for the point location in mouse events. For a cursor such as a cross-hair cursor, the hot spot would be in the center of the cursor. In our example, the cursor hot spot will be at the pencil point or the point 0,0.

           Point hotSpot = new Point(0,0);

Creating the Custom Cursor
To create the custom image, we put together the cursor image and the hot spot:

           Cursor oneDisk =getToolkit().createCustomCursor(image, hotSpot,"string ");

Displaying the Custom Cursor
The final step is to notify the component to display the cursor.

           PaintWithOnScreenCanvas.this.setCursor(oneDisk);
