I am trying to listen to mouse events anywhere on the screen

Is there a way I could listen to mouse events...
- outside of a java window (on the desktop for e.g.)
- anywhere on the screen after the window has been deactivated (minimized)?

... other than writing a native method call.

My FAVORITE class. java.awt.Toolkit has the ability to add event listeners for the entire system. You can create a mouse event listener and use that.


Hope this helps.
