Is the java method "setCursor" supposed to be used on MacOSX? How, or if not, what is?

My app extends JFrame. I thought it would be ok to simply write:

			

			setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

It should work. I run the latest version of 1.4.1 and have experienced
some issues with setCursor () where the function is
getting executed but the cursor does not change as expected. I suspect
this is generally due to the fact that the component you are trying to set
the cursor on does not have the focus. I have generally managed to
fix this by grabbing the focus (for the component) before
setting its cursor.

One more thing: I am not sure setting the cursor on a JFrame would have any effect at all.
