Hi Arun,
try this.
public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent evt)
{
//Swing itself doesn't change the cursor when mouse moves over the link. so
if (evt.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ENTERED) {
JEditorPane pane = (JEditorPane) evt.getSource();
// Enter event. Go the the "hand" cursor and fill in the status bar
pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
}
else if (evt.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.EXITED) {
JEditorPane pane = (JEditorPane) evt.getSource();
// Exit event. Go back to the default cursor and clear the status bar
pane.setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
}
else if (evt.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED)
{
//....
}
