Java Swing Custom Cursor ( Mac styled rotating dots busy cursor)

Hi,

I want mac styled rotating dots busy cursor. How do I get it. I have used custom cursor with a gif image showing the rotating dots. But the cursor won't show with this image (why ?). Attached is the image .Thanks in advance.

Is the cursor set in Windows? If so, all you need to do is set the cursor using the setCursor and Cursor.getPredefinedCursor methods.

Yes the cursor set is in windows. I have used getPredefindedCursor method, but when I use the default WAIT_CURSOR, all I get is an hour glass. I want the rotating dots. I have tried creating the custom cursor with the gif image shown on top. But for some reason its not displaying. When I use another gif image (without any animation and of 8bit color depth), the image is displayed as a cursor.
