Picking - shooting ray from arbitrary position in screen

Troubleshooting General Help
1

The picking demo shoots rays from the center of the screen, from the position of the camera to its target. I want to be able to click anywhere in the screen and shoot a ray from there and perform picking with this ray. I just found that I cant get the cursor position where the user clicked in the ActionListener for mouse clicks, otherwise I would be able to code it myself (compute the ray). Then how can I do it?
