Detecting a Mouse Click Anywhere on Screen with Java

Question

Is it possible to detect a mouse click anywhere on a screen, outside of my application?

I have written an application to do this in C#, but would like to write a version

Answer 1

You can do this only with platform specific implementation of the OS API, as you can't detect clicks outside from your program in your program itself.

While you won't get around writing platform specific code, just abstract it as an interface and use different implementations appropiately.
