Detect mouse click with java while in a game

I am thinking to make a simple robot app which would record all movements and clicks done by the use and then repeat them.

I can do that with a glasspane but my question is, would a GlassPane work if I tried to use the program while in a game? For example, world of warcraft since bots are popular in MMO's, what else could I use?

I know of mouse hooks, which based on c++ I think, but I do not know how to use them in java. If that is the only way, can someone give me direction to an understandable document regarding using mouse hooks?
