In SWT you need not be in a listener to get at the mouse location  The Display object has the method getCursorLocation       In vanilla SWT JFace  call Display getCurrent   getCursorLocation      In an RCP application  call PlatformUI getWorkbench   getDisplay   getCursorLocation      For SWT applications  it is preferable to use getCursorLocation   over the MouseInfo getPointerInfo   that others have mentioned  as the latter is implemented in the AWT toolkit that SWT was designed to replace
