In Java, I want to get the amount the mouse moved during the mouseMoved() event in the MouseMotionListener. I know the point given by the MouseEvent is where the mouse position is at that exact moment. Must I store a mouse position variable that is the previous mouse position? I would have to update it every time the mouse moved, or is there a better way?

The question is not clear properly. Can you give an example what are you trying to achieve? – Anirban Nag 'tintinmj' Jun 27 '15 at 21:14

Yes, you must store the previous position somewhere. – Dioxin Jun 27 '15 at 21:15
