You have to do this by your own. put the setCursor() in a thread to simulate the moving.
here some code:
Cursor cur = getToolkit().createCustomCursor(
new ImageIcon("hourglass01.gif").getImage(), new Point(10,10), "Cursor");
setCursor(cur);

Use (Hourglass cursor):
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
When done:
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
