getting mouse location without a listener

Question

In some situations I need to place a JFrame right where the mouse cursor is located. Do I really need a mouse listener to track mouse move events, or I can just read current mouse position somehow?

this could help:

MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation()

Yes, you can use `myJFrame.setLocation(MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation());` – olivierlemasle Mar 04 '11 at 11:58
