Just create a custom Cursor that has no pixels in it, or only transparent
pixels. See:
Toolkit.createCustomCursor()

This method is only available on Java 2, so it won't work if your game
needs to run on Classic or earlier.

The doc-comment for the method says:
* If the image to display is invalid, the cursor will be hidden (made
* completely transparent), and the hotspot will be set to (0, 0).

Unfortunately, it doesn't elaborate on what "invalid" means.
