    public void run() {
        Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
        Image image = toolkit.getImage("cursor.gif");
        Point hotspot = new Point(0, 0);
        stoneCursor = toolkit.createCustomCursor(image, hotspot, "Stone");
        getContentPane().setCursor(stoneCursor);

    }

Answer 1

Here is an example try this..

Standard Cursor Image:

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

User defined Image:

Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
  Image image = toolkit.getImage("icons/handwriting.gif");
  Cursor c = toolkit.createCustomCursor(image , new Point(mainPane.getX(),
     mainPane.getY()), "img");
  mainPane.setCursor (c);
