Identifying Swing component at a particular screen coordinate? (And manually dispatching MouseEvents)

In AWT Container, call this ...

findComponentAt(int x, int y) 
          Locates the visible child component that contains the specified position

i.e. If it is in a GlassPane...

  public static Component findComponentUnderGlassPaneAt(Point p, Component top) {
    Component c = null;

    if (top.isShowing()) {
      if (top instanceof RootPaneContainer)
        c =
        ((RootPaneContainer) top).getLayeredPane().findComponentAt(
            SwingUtilities.convertPoint(top, p, ((RootPaneContainer) top).getLayeredPane()));
      else
        c = ((Container) top).findComponentAt(p);
    }

    return c;
  }

Reading your question, this might be of help to you also...

If you want to exercise the control use this ... Java.awt.Robot class is used to take the control of mouse and keyboard. Once you get the control, you can do any type of operation related to mouse and keyboard through your java code. This class is used generally for test automation.

An alternative (may require further tweaking):

public static Component findComponentUnderMouse() {
    Window window = findWindow();
    Point location = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
    SwingUtilities.convertPointFromScreen(location, window);
    return SwingUtilities.getDeepestComponentAt(window, location.x, location.y);
}

private static Window findWindow() {
    for (Window window : Window.getWindows()) {
        if (window.getMousePosition(true) != null)
            return window;
    }

    return null;
}
