GetGlobalMouse may or may not work with Java 1.4.1 due to Java 1.4.1
switching over from Carbon to Cocoa. If not you'll need to write a
"C callable wrapper function" for the JNI native method to call, which
in turn will make the appropriate Cocoa call. I haven't tracked down
what Cocoa call would be appropriate yet. Hopefully GetGlobalMouse will
continue to work with 1.4.1.

A quick glance leads me to guess that [[NSCursor currentCursor] hotSpot] will return an NSPoint for the current mouse location.

For what it's worth, though, GetGlobalMouse might continue to work. If you decompile it you'll see that the only functions it calls are two private Core Graphics APIs, so it shouldn't be affected by the rest of Carbon. Of course, even if it works today, that's no guarantee that any future implementation of GetGlobalMouse will work.
