How exactly do you attach the mouse to a specified Java window so that the mouse movements are dedicated ONLY to that application?
Ideally, I would like the cursor to remain visible, but only be allowed to remain within the window bounds unless released.
Why do you think you should do this?
You might want to check out the Robot class, but more likely, you should probably rethink your plan.
Perhaps you misunderstood?Quote:

I could see using the robot class to force the mouse to stay in one spot or stay within certain boundaries, but I'm just wondering if there is a better way to do it.
Robot class is the way to go. Or make the game fullscreen.
I know exactly what you're talking about, and it's annoying as heck. There's a reason Java doesn't have a "keepMouseInWindow()" method.
