Hi :

   The location of the MessageBox seems to appear in the middle of the screen,
is there any setting to make it right near the cursor?

   Thanks.

In JFace you can use the dwtx.jface.dialogs.MessageDialog. This class is 
made for easy extensibility.
I haven't tried, but i think you can override the configureShell() 
methods and set the position. From Display you can get the 
Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation()

Another good resource to ask this question is probably the SWT newsgroup 
on the eclipse.org server. (Needs registration)
