Trying to hide the cursor with JDK1.5.0 on linux, I get
 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

The code looks like this:
 private static Cursor createInvisibleCursor()
  {
    // Create the invisible cursor
    MemoryImageSource memIm = new MemoryImageSource(1, 1, new int[] { 0 }, 0, 1);
    Component c = new Component() { };
    Image im = c.createImage(memIm);
    Point spot = new Point(1, 1);
    return c.getToolkit().createCustomCursor(im, spot, INVISIBLE_CURSOR_NAME);
  }
the same code worked with JDK 1.4.2 (Windows).
 A hotspot can be anywhere relative to the actual image really... even outside of it.
