I am unsure how to record how many times a mouse was clicked in a certain area

Question

I'm fluent in java, and have messed with vb.net, but I prefer java. I wish to make a program that ++'s a variable everytime I click my mouse in a certain coordinate on my screen. Not sure how to record when a mouse click has happened outside of the program's forms.

This can't be done in pure Java but people have written JNI libraries that can capture global mouse and keyboard events. Take a look at
