What do you mean by 'do anything with it?'

Java should just see these events as MouseEvents. If what you're asking about is can java implement a device driver or can I use java to change the way a device driver works without native code the answer is no.

Java was created to work on a higher level and to leave these details to the OS.

I have recently created an application that ran on a touch screen system. I used the normal mouse events attached to the swing components (onClick) and these were translated by the touch screen. Typically I created a calculator type keypad, touched the screen on the text box where I wanted the data to appear and then pressed the keypad buttons to populate the field. No special drivers, just using swing components

Hope that helps
