[Gzz] Mouse cursors

[Asko Soukka]

Hi,

Any ideas how mouse cursors should be implemented? Using awt.Cursor and 
default cursor could of course be the easiest on java side, but is there 
any way to use it also on GL? I'm not even sure how awt.Cursor should be 
used, but it seems that at least awt.Component has a setCursor() method.

Well, if using awt.Cursor on both implementations is not possible, then we 
probably need our own cursor interface, which uses awt.Cursor on AWT side 
and something else on GL side, but what? AFAIK a image that follows mouse 
pointer is not enough, since the should replace the pointer. Probably 
there is an easy way to do it in X, but then it probably makes yet another 
thing to port (to MacOs or Windows).

Constants for the shapes available in the java.awt.Cursor class:

DEFAULT_CURSOR
CROSSHAIR_CURSOR
TEXT_CURSOR
WAIT_CURSOR
SW_RESIZE_CURSOR
SE_RESIZE_CURSOR
NW_RESIZE_CURSOR
NE_RESIZE_CURSOR
N_RESIZE_CURSOR
S_RESIZE_CURSOR
W_RESIZE_CURSOR
E_RESIZE_CURSOR
HAND_CURSOR
MOVE_CURSOR
