A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The standard practice to use a visible glasspane to show the WAIT cursor, does not works when it is used on a JDialog using the internal hidden frame (JDialog no aruments constructor). the cursor does not change.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Instantiante a Dialog, set a glasspane to it visible and assign the wait cursor to the glasspane

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The WAIT cursor must be shown when the mouse hovers over the dialog content pane
ACTUAL -
the cursor does not changes

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class TestDialog {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JDialog dialog = new JDialog();

        JPanel glass = new JPanel();
        glass.setOpaque(false);
        glass.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
        });
        glass.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
        dialog.setGlassPane(glass);
        glass.setVisible(true);

        dialog.getContentPane().add(new JButton("Hola"));
        dialog.pack();
        dialog.setVisible(true);
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Create a non decorated JFrame with bounds (0,0,0,0) ans use it as the parent of the dialog
